SHINY HAPPY MACBOOK
-- Weighing in at just 2 pounds and with no fan or other moving parts, it's the lightest, thinnest and quietest Apple laptop yet, with "all-day" battery life, which Apple defines as 9 hours of web browsing and 10 hours of iTunes movie playback.
-- Comes in three colors: silver, "space gray" and - wait for it - gold.
-- Control it with a new pressure-sensitive track pad. Screen has the 12-inch higher-resolution Retina display now available only in higher-end, heavier MacBook Pros.
-- Charge it with a new kind of connector cable and port, "USB-C," that combines power with functions now requiring HDMI, VGA or USB connections.
-- Feel good about it: Apple touts its environmental friendliness (no PVCs, mercury, or beryllium) and says it will be the most energy-efficient laptop on the market.
-- Shipping April 10, it starts at $1,299 with 256 gigabytes of storage. A faster processor and double the storage can be had for $1,599.
-- Apple will still make its MacBook Air and Pro models. Upgrades were released Monday. |

I love how everybody complained about the last few MacBooks not having enough USB ports, so Apple said "screw ya'll" and only gave it one. :crazy:
I'll bet the next model just has a silk-screened image of a USB port on it, just to really piss everybody off. |

| The battery life may be good, but I'd rather trade that off for better CPU performance, storage, I/O and price. |

| Well, at least it's perfectly in line with Apple's marketing strategy of selling overpriced, shiny crap to gullible idiots with too much money. |

Complete fantasy I'm sure. Maybe if you use only Safari and stay away from flash video. Apple's claims about battery life are total BS |
