It’s the most indulgent, design-y, Apple-y computer on the market - and it’s *this* close to being perfect.ĭuring Monday’s WWDC keynote, Apple announced that it was giving its 12-inch MacBook lineup, which arrives in stores today, a little boost. On top of all that, it comes in rose gold (as well as gold, silver, and space gray, but my stance is clear). Plus, unlike an iPad, it can run desktop apps, like the full version of Photoshop, and it's much better for multitasking. It doesn’t have the oomph of a Pro - but what it lacks in performance, it makes up for in outta-this-world lightness and thinness, making it an ideal laptop for someone who’s always moving around. It has a stunning, high-resolution display with a full-sized keyboard. If you’re a Netflix-watching, web-browsing, email-checking, and word-processing kind of human, all you really need is a keyboard and a nice screen, with a decent processor powering it all.Īnd that’s what makes the MacBook so good. Many don’t even need a touchscreen, a notorious battery zapper and finger-grease magnet. Most people don’t need serious computing power either, unless they’re editing videos or playing games. A lot of our stuff - apps, photos, documents - can now be stored on the cloud. When it comes to laptops, most people don’t need much space.
