Tech New Macbook Gold - GoFuckYourself.com

Porko · 03-09-2015, 01:45 PM

The 12-inch MacBook is separate from the company's MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines. It weighs 2 pounds and is 24 percent thinner than the existing MacBook Air at 13.1mm. It's available in three iPhone and iPad-style colors: gold, silver, and space gray.

With the new MacBook, Apple has introduced a redesigned keyboard, featuring a new butterfly mechanism for the keys to make them both more stable and more precise. The edge-to-edge keyboard offers keys with 17 percent more surface area and a redesigned feel.
"Apple has reinvented the notebook with the new MacBook, and at just two pounds and 13.1 mm, it's the thinnest and lightest Mac ever," said Philip Schiller, Apple?s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "Every component of the MacBook reveals a new innovation. From its fanless design, ultra-thin Retina display and full-size keyboard that?s 34 percent thinner, to its all-new Force Touch trackpad, versatile USB-C port and breakthrough terraced battery design, the new MacBook is the future of the notebook."
Apple's new MacBook also includes a completely revamped trackpad, with built-in Force Touch. Force Touch can detect the amount of pressure placed on the trackpad, introducing a whole range of gestures. For example, a hard press using Force Touch brings up a Map in mail, or a Wikipedia entry in Safari, much like right clicking does now. The trackpad also includes haptic Feedback, letting get tactile feedback from the trackpad when using it. The trackpad is customizable, letting users choose how much pressure is required to initiate a force press.

The 12-inch MacBook uses an Intel Core-M processor that starts at 1.1GHz with Intel HD 5300 graphics. It has entirely silent operation because it's the first MacBook to use a completely fanless design. Internally, the logic board is 67 percent smaller than the logic board in the MacBook Air, and Apple's designed new custom-shaped batteries for the device to eke out as much battery life as possible.

According to Apple, the new MacBook has an "all-day battery" life at 9 hours of web browsing and 10 hours of iTunes movie playback.

To allow for its ultra thin design, Apple has used a single USB-C port in the MacBook, which combines several functions into a one port: power, USB data transfer, DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA capabilities. The MacBook does not use the traditional MagSafe charging method that's available in other MacBooks.

The entry-level MacBook is priced at $1,299 and includes a 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor, 8GB of memory, 256GB of flash storage, and Intel HD graphics 5300. There's also a 1.2GHz version with 8GB of memory and 512GB of flash storage available for $1,599. There will be additional configure-to-order options as well.

12 inch screen on a apple laptop = way over priced netbook. Sorry but they missed the cake with this, they should have "copied" the windows surface and released a micro touch screen notebook/tablet with a computer OS, not iOS.

If they built that then it would be pretty awesome un-ground breaking, but at least useful in a 12 inch screen size..

12 inch screen size is fantastic to travel. I won't buy a touch screen notebook. Why do you need that when you can use an ipad?

VSKevin · 03-09-2015, 02:46 PM

Sounds like the late result of trying to get into the "laptablet" game.

The Microsoft Surface 3 and Lenovo Yoga 3 should shit on this garbage, but of course fanboys will jump on this an think it's the greatest tech on the planet.

MassMarketing · 03-09-2015, 02:49 PM

We have 2 macbook airs and I cannot use it for more than a few minutes. I hate tiny screens.

why, because an ipad runs iOS and only runs "apps" not "real desktop" programs, like photoshop for example. With a touch screen PC running full windows like the Surface Pro 3 does, you have a instant touch screen wacom tablet. IE you cab run full programs not shitty 99 cent apps..

I think today's "announcement," or whatever it was, was a failure. They are doing too many of them now and none of them have focus. The big focal point today should have been the iWatch. Instead, my Facebook feed (that gets fed with all of the big tech sites/magazines) is full of articles about the new MacBook and the Apple TV. Out of 6 Apple articles that I just scrolled by, only one of them even mentioned the iWatch.

On a side note, the luxury watchmakers are having fun with the following campaign: why spend $10,000 on a phone for your wrist when you can buy a watch that will hold value and show how much of a pimp you are!?

There is no Steve Jobs now. You need a great product and a great idea to sell it. Just having the product without the marketing pizzazz equals failure these days. Jobs knew this, whoever is running Apple now does not.

How about an announcement for each new product?

Iwatch cost 10k?

AdultKing · 03-09-2015, 04:18 PM

I'll be buying an Apple Watch because it does everything I wish my Fitbit could do and more.

mineistaken · 03-09-2015, 04:43 PM

Ok, just checked that 1k is for golden version.

Diomed · 03-09-2015, 05:21 PM

This is why I haven't switched over to Mac to try out yet.

I do have an ipad, and it's a great machine for walking around the house and in bed. But I also have a fucking 3 year old HP Touchpad that is running android kit kat 4.4 which can do everything the ipad can do. But it is bulkier.

All I know is that I HATED windows 8 when I first got it.. and I still don't think it makes any kind of sense at all for computers without touchscreens..

BUT,

I purchased a widescreen HP laptop 2 black fridays ago for $500 from sams that has an i5 and windows 8, with a touchscreen.. and the fucking thing rocks the shit.

I basically use it as a desktop.. I think the windows 8 was a real hit with these touch screen computers.. and again, think of the money saved. It can edit HD videos and do anything that "I" need it to do.. so I'm really not fussed about anything more.

asianseekerz · 03-09-2015, 05:35 PM

this is cool, hoping apple should realease also for iMAC gold and macpro gold

Isn't the CPU faster on some mobile phones or tablets ?
I have a feeling I could work just as well from a phone using screencast and a bluetooth keyboard.

1.1Ghz Dual-core CPU is a joke in 2015

sandman! · 03-09-2015, 06:11 PM

your clueless buddy my thinkpad x1 carbon has a dual core cpu all the intel M processors are 2 cores im pretty sure even the I7-M

Lenovo said that it didn't go for an Intel Core M design with the upgrade and instead opted for the chipmaker's upcoming 5th-generation Core processor to bring the best possible performance for the form factor.

That's the 3rd gen released in 2015, I don't know if it's only 2 cores but at least it runs up to 2.7ghz, the 2nd generation was also 2+ ghz.
I thought it was weird to release a dual core and have a max clock speed of 1 - 1.2 ghz... At least give it 4 cores then

candyflip · 03-13-2015, 07:24 AM

$1200 for a netbook with no ports. A mobile fucking processor? This is a joke, but it will sell, I'm sure.

2MuchMark · 03-13-2015, 08:02 AM

Haters gonna hate I guess, but one thing you can agree on is that Mac's and MacBooks don't depreciate nearly as fast as PC's do. I bought a Macbook for $1100 in 2008, and sold it for $800 in 2013. (I then bought a Macbook Air). Not too shabby..!

If you're looking for a laptop, the Macbook Air's are great. Fast enough for everything, but more importantly it lasts forever on a charge, and its super ultra light. I love the Macbook Air.

Let me know when you sell you next one.. I'll recover all the nice files in it...
I tend not to buy a laptop etc with reselling it in mind.

Hope you are running an anti virus on your Mac...

As for hate.. pointing out that something is over priced is not hate. It's simply stating a fact that the hardware is worthless them the MSRP...
Everyone can use what ever OS or system they like and lets them get the job done..
