Live Coverage of Apple's October 2018 iPad and Mac Event

[jeremiah256]

Well, I know what I’m buying my wife for Christmas.

 

[artfossil]

A MacBook Air made from MacBook Air corpses!

Seriously, this is genuinely exciting to me.

 

[Rogifan]

Like Joanna Stern says, where was this product 4 years ago? And something called the Air is heavier than its brother the MacBook.

And the woman doing this video sounds like a robot, they should leave the videos to Jony.

 

[GizmoDVD]

So 20 minutes for a cheap bargain priced laptop? Ugh.

 

[Val-kyrie]

100% recycled aluminum. I wonder how the strength of this will measure up to non-recycled aluminum. Last time Apple played with metallurgy, we got Bendgate on the iPhone 6(+)--which is real.

 

[Shiro_Simba]

Can’t wait to see the price..... here will be the biggest “innovation” £3k for max spec ?

 

[Attirex]

This apple event has ruined my life.

 

[turbineseaplane]

That god damned garbage keyboard.

UGH

Ruined the product.
Apple is clueless on the keyboard situation.

 

[Icaras]

it would seem weird to keep the Macbook around now.

Yea I’m even more confused now with their lineup.

 

[Omega Mac]

I can’t believe they did this but ruined a formerly bulletproof reliable computer with that horrendous keyboard.

They were so close here. Such a shame.

Ya know, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume they've learned form all the mistakes on the MacBook lines and this one will be a synergy model that achieve product harmony model. Fingers crossed.

 

[clangers23]

But where are the new emoji's?

 

[Dorje Sylas]

Next thing Apple will do is make anything containing carbon (plastics) out of carbon sequestration sourced material.

 

[PBG4 Dude]

A MacBook Air made from MacBook Air corpses!

I don’t know about that, my late 2010 and 2012 MBA both still work today and the 2012 is still used daily as a main computer. Maybe 2011 MBPs after their GPU died though...

 

[xalea]

And it comes in pimp gold.

 

[Icaras]

That god damned garbage keyboard.

UGH

Ruined the product.
Apple is clueless on the keyboard situation.

3rd generation though...

 

[Baymowe335]

Hope not everyone starts crying about specs like dual core and 16GB. It's the MacBook Air... You want more power...go to the Pro.

 

[AppleHaterLover]

RIP my MBP nTB.

Good thing the cheapest notebook with real performance will now cost $1799...

 

[dynAdZ]

Seems I‘m the only one who loves the butterfly keyboards much more than the previous ones. I can type really fast on them and they are super responsive. And it never broke for me or for anyone else in my company where we use more than hundred 2017/2018 MacBook Pro‘s. This new MBA seems to be an easy buy for everyone looking for a mid-class Mac.

 

[turbineseaplane]

I think they've missed the point completely.

The 12 inch MacBook was probably meant to replace the Air, but people have continued to buy the Air as it was a great all rounder (USB-A, Magsafe, reasonable price, old keyboard etc). They've now removed all of that.

And wait until “normal users” get a croissant crumb near this thing on week 1

 

[ondert]

If this new MacBook Air is priced at 999$, it sells like bread & butter?
edit: meh.. it starts at $1199.

 

[AngerDanger]

Is the live feed stuttering for anybody else?

 

[xalea]

$1199

 

[8draco8]

They still didn't show that side where there should be 3.5mm Jack, it's not there I'm telling you

 

[ThisBougieLife]

So worried that they’ll move onto iPads after this.

Please iMac!!!

 

[DrJohnnyN]

Priced exactly right. $1,199.
