Live Coverage of Apple's March 2015 'Spring Forward' Event

[TMRJIJ]

My wallet felt thinner all of sudden.

 

[apolloa]

No magsafe and no backlit Apple logo... oh dear.

 

[iBug2]

My only complaint about USB-C is that magsafe appears to be gone. Having a hyper 7 year old, a cable that pops off is a life-safer. lol

Maybe USB-C also acts like magsafe? Let's wait and see.

 

[MrGimper]

So what is it actually called .... the new Air? the Macbook 12", something else (mini) ?

 

[Trebuin]

So no headphone jack?

I was thinking the same thing...forcing to go bluetooth.

 

[Cscottrun]

Was legitimately ready to buy this thing, and I don't even need a new laptop, until I realized there is no headphone jack.

 

[TheDeviceUser]

USB-C.......yeah, there's a dongle for that, and that, and that, and that.......

My problem with that is. Currently, I've got a Thunderbolt Display and I'm charging my MacBook.

What would I do? Unless there's some sort of adaptor.

 

[theSeb]

No headphone jack is a major letdown. That would be the only reason I'd skip this one. I hope they don't do that for their Pro notebooks.

Ahh, we have Beats Bluetooth headphones for you, sir.

 

[SmOgER]

Does that trackpad have the click feel or only pillow like feeling with vibration feedback?

Just MacBook, I think...

 

[unplugme71]

wow, no issues with streaming on this event. i got 4 devices over wifi.

I think it's just MacBook

 

[~~Hello~~]

No headphone socket? sigh.

 

[mrgraff]

"Aluminium" drink!

 

[0007776]

Sooo... what do I do when I'm doing file transfers to an external, and my battery life is dying?

Pray to apple that the battery lasts long enough.

I'd be less upset about the design if they at least had a separate power port so you can use other things while it is charging. Hopefully someone designs an accessory that acts as a hub so you can get actual ports plus a charger.

 

[Trebuin]

I just saw an audio jack...good to go.

I see one.

 

[ck2875]

I think I just saw a headphone jack.

Edit: I can't believe I'm that excited they didn't remove something

 

[budselectjr]

The verge claims there is a headphone jack

 

[KPOM]

Got ride of MagSafe. Very shortsighted.

You can't have everything. The idea is that there is finally a do-it-all USB 3.1 Type C port out there, so why not exploit it for all it's worth. It's like 1998 all over again when Apple dropped all the other ports in favor of USB.

 

[ZacNicholson]

glad to see they still have the headphone jack

 

[unplugme71]

Just MacBook, I think...

Just MacBook.

There's no headphone jack? I thought I saw one on screen.

 

[0007776]

No headphone socket? sigh.

They probably want to sell you bluetooth beats headphones.

Edit, as I look a bit more at what they are showing I think they might actually have a headphone jack on the other side of the computer.

 

[LordQ]

If the trackpad is made of glass, shouldn't it be able to get Touch ID integrated? Or must it be sapphire and need the stainless steel ring?
