Ondrej Holzman It's like going back seven years and listening to Steve Jobs. Just like the unprecedented innovations in the first MacBook Air at the time, the radical cuts in the new MacBook have caused quite a stir today. The difference between 2008 and 2015 is mainly one: then Apple showed "the thinnest laptop in the world", now it has mainly revealed the "laptop of the future".
The parallels between 2008, when the very first generation of MacBook Air was introduced, and 2015, when Tim Cook showed his biggest transformation yet, even without the epithet Air, you can find quite a few, and the main thing in common is that Apple did not look back and pioneered a path that many ordinary users are yet to join.
"With the new MacBook, we set out to do the impossible: fit a full-featured experience into the thinnest and most compact Mac notebook ever." writes Apple about its latest iron and it must be added that it impossible it didn't come cheap.
[do action=”citation”]USB is the new DVD drive.[/do]
In terms of design, the new MacBook is another gem, and Apple is running away from its competitors in seven-mile shoes. At the same time, however, almost all ports had to be sacrificed to the incredibly thin profile. There's one left to rule them all, and the headphone jack.
The parallel with the first generation MacBook Air is obvious here. At that time, it had only one USB and, above all, it completely got rid of such a thing as a matter of course until then, such as a DVD drive. But in the end it turned out that it was a step in the right direction, and after seven years Apple shows us what is another survival. USB is the new DVD drive, he suggests.
Apple is clear about the future and how we will use computers in it. Many are surely now wondering how they can function with a single port that without adapter it can handle (at least for now) only one thing, charging a laptop, but it's only a matter of time when cloud storage will be used instead of USB flash drives and when we will only connect a cable to the computer in rare cases.
As the way users work with computers will evolve, so will Apple and its MacBook. In the next generation, we can expect longer battery life, which may be one of the factors that will limit the use of the connector. If we charge the laptop only overnight and during the day it can be used without a cable, the only port will still be free. There is significant room for improvement in terms of performance as well.
From the MacBook Air, which at the time came with a dizzying price (it cost $500 more than the current new MacBook) and equally dizzying changes, Apple managed to create one of the best laptops of its kind in the world in eight years. For many, the new MacBook "without ports" (but with a Retina display) will certainly not immediately become the number one computer, just as the Air did not become then.
But we can be sure that it will be a lot less time before Apple builds its latest laptop into a similarly iconic tool. Progress is at a sprint, and if Apple keeps up and doesn't suffocate, the MacBook has a bright future ahead of it. In short, the "laptop of the future".
I would definitely not define the new macbook as the laptop of the future. Its performance (and diagonal) is so small that anyone who uses more demanding applications will simply buy it. And it will be like that in the future, because the difficulty of the application won't decrease that much. Design-wise, it's really a very nice piece.
With all due respect, in the future maybe the complexity of the applications will not increase, but the performance will, so your comment is somewhat meaningless. :)
Personally, I would call it another evolution - I agree with the article that it basically goes back to the Air's roots. I wouldn't be surprised if the Air disappears in a few years and is replaced by the MacBook. :)
He's just Air. Just canceling the existing one would be full of resentment for the missing connectors, price from and performance.
Demand will definitely increase. Today, the same iron is enough for about 5 years. FHD video can be edited, the cameras have 24 megapixels and raw will also take it. But I doubt that the level of difficulty should increase. But in order for it to last at least the 5 years to manage even slightly more demanding operations, it must not be low-end performance like the MB here. But his focus is really completely different.
After all, a person who needs performance will buy a Pro and not a new Macbook. Each row has a different target.
But this future is still so far away that even then there will be technologies so that the new MacBook doesn't smile with its wireless connectivity, a lot of water will have passed... and by then this MacBook will be long out of date. Besides, for 40k it's quite out of the question. Unfortunately, he arrived too soon.
I do not think. I myself use Air and another connector before I use the charger about once a year. Everything else goes to my computer wirelessly, i.e. via wifi. Even if I want to transfer a file from a 1m remote computer to a macbook, I'd rather do it via dropbox than look for a usb stick somewhere…
So I seriously don't think that the new macbook will fundamentally suffer from wireless connectivity.
Well, it must be a treat to transfer such a two-gig movie via WiFi...
Well, definitely faster than drawing from a flask and onto a flash drive. On ac wifi for sure…
That I started something here at all... here it happened again...
A two-gig movie? Today? Well, I probably wouldn't want to watch that one. My films usually have a min. 12GB.
Sure, I have to wait about 15 minutes for the 8GB movie to download, but I don't consider that a big problem. Like commercials in the cinema. :-)
Is anyone watching a movie on a flash? If I want to give it to someone, ok. but I don't have to wait for that. Today they have movies in mkv and about 12GB. First. my tv can't do it. secondly, apple tv will easily transfer it and i'm playing from mbp 2009.
Otherwise, the new macbook is a blast. I'm not a valid user. I almost don't use my macbook anymore and when I want to connect a router (fortunately it already has wifi), I mainly edit videos and edit photos in raw.
I'm still doing this on MBP 2009 2,26ghz core2duo, 8gb ram and ssd and it amazes me that it works, but it's already bothering me.
People said the same thing when the first generation Air was introduced
Well, one port would perhaps be enough if the synchronization of iOS devices with Mac via Wi-Fi worked 6.1.3% as it worked until version XNUMX. It's desperate from the Sevens.
:D you mean from version 6.0 to version 6.1.3, nothing like that worked before. And if I remember correctly, it worked roughly as badly as today.
if you remember it very badly, 6.1.3 was also a luxury that aapick is almost impossible to catch up with. when I can't find Wi-Fi on my macbook because I'm still not able to fix it, I prefer to connect a cable, what should I connect now? personal version of XY and I will stick it in the ass of the man who takes billions for these products? they don't have the ability to have one port.
I just have a question, maybe I'm misunderstanding it or I have it set up wrong. But if the future is to be Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox, or iCloud Drive) then why is it still taking up space on my local drive? I want to have the cloud as a backup for things that I don't use all the time, I don't want to have it on the cloud, but at the same time on my drive in Mac. Is there a way to figure it out or set it up, please?
OneDrive can do this. Just right click and select make available offline/online only. Super exactly for the situation you described plus 1TB of space.
Great, but where to make them available offline? I click on that folder on the Mac and nothing there.
Unfortunately, I don't know how it is on a mac. Maybe you have everything set to offline so it might show up when you change it to online only. Try googling it.
I'm probably being too conservative, but the laptop really has to weigh 900g and come with all possible connector equipment. The snack will weigh more in my backpack. One connector will probably be enough, connecting USB keys is not really an everyday operation, but I rather take it as if I buy a notebook for 40 thousand, I will probably have it as my only and main computer. So, as a true apple fan, I will probably have an Apple cinema display and a keyboard. So I will kill this design gem with a plastic reduction on a reduction. But it's probably a wrong idea that the 1,1 GHz dual-core will serve as my main computer. They could have just put an A8 chip there instead of the beggar from Intel. But it will definitely sell. In the developed world, $1300 is a fart. Give it to people. It's probably not worth talking about other products such as watches with a lifespan of 18 hours. This is more jewelry than electronics, and I don't wear any jewelry, so I don't care.
I am currently driving a Macbook pro + Cinema display combo for 4 years. But really, I started to think a little differently. For traveling and working in the field (photos, graphics, handling things) a 12″ macbook and a new 5k iMac for the chancel.
I'm even more curious about the performance of the processor and the heating capacity of the new macbook, if it will handle what I do and it won't be a big heating problem, but otherwise I think I'm exactly the type of target where Apple is going with this model.
If you take it as a 40 knapsack as the main one, I'd rather look for 13-15″ retina models at a slightly higher price. There it still makes sense macbook + cinema.
I quite like the tactics Apple is using at the moment. It appeals to people who are willing to invest quite a bit of money for a lot of music, but get comprehensively super working tools. But I don't mean the best performance compared to other manufacturers. Again, this seems to me like terrible nonsense to compare. That's not even the purpose. When I'm on the go, I'm mainly interested in mobility, and still, that it can handle work with Adobe products without any big delays, and that makes it go away, not if I could have a better processor from Lenovo, for example. Clean operation, image and consistency are important to me. I don't care about connectivity, most things can be done over the air. When I return to the chancel, I expect a performance on the table again. Yes, it's another 100 thousand for an iMac, which no one can just afford to invest. But one has to calculate a little and consider whether it is for him or not. Macs, in particular, have always been super work tools and always will be, but they will never be super game consoles, or the most bloated hardware machines at a given price level.
Otherwise, for example, Apple watch goes beyond me. And I also understand exactly who they are for. It's not me and I ignore it. I've been trying to keep all notifications to a minimum lately, so I wouldn't buy a Watch to constantly distract me from concentrating on work. So it's more about deciding whether it's for me or not, and that's how it is with all Apple products.
Macbook 12 is definitely not for you. This is really only minimal work because the processor is extremely weak.
I would rather recommend the Air + iMac combo.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. When I test the operation, I will judge whether it will not catch up in terms of performance. With the classic Air, I see a problem in the fact that there is no retina. So for me, greater consistency and image are decisive here. If the performance is not enough, then I will wait until autumn. :)
Although the 13″ Air is not retina and has an old TNko, on the other hand, it has the most usable resolution of the current Apple NBs – 1440x900. The new MacBook has a real surface after conversion of 1152×720, which is desperate for some Adobe programs. I was hoping that it would have at least 1280×800, as it comes out with 13″ Pro Retina, but this is not the case.
That's interesting, how did you recalculate it? So the real area is about 300px narrower, right? Or am I understanding it wrong?
Just divide both dimensions of any retina by 2 and you have a real working surface. It is based on the fact that 1 pixel of the real surface is represented by 4 physical pixels on the retina. So, for example, the MBP retina 13" is 2560×1600, which corresponds to 1280×800 of the real surface. Of course, I don't have to use the default "best for retina" resolution, you can use scalability and also set up to 12x1440 on the new 900″ MacBook, but it has an impact on image sharpness and performance, which the new 12″ doesn't have that much to offer . I would also consider him, but this is a big obstacle for me.
Thanks for the insight, now I'm trying to switch it to 15tc on the 1152x720 and it's really not enough. On the website graphics, it is just the size of the bootstrap grid. Hmm, I'll see live if he can fight with it.
I myself need an upgrade, and if I buy a 13″ MBP retina, I have to settle for just a 1280×800 surface and I would certainly rather tolerate 1440×900 like my 13″ Air, where I have to settle for an old TNk and no retina. So compromises everywhere. And the new 12″, I really don't know. It's a bit of a shame that we have delicate retinas, but that work surface is like from the last century. Apple should have pushed it down one level, after all, the 15″ MBP retina has the same surface area as the Air, while once upon a time it was possible to put up to a 1680×1050 “hi-res display” in the classic MBP, which would be an ideal difference for a 15″, today I can keep to dream
Until it hides behind a pencil - don't take! :D
In my opinion, Apple made a non-touch iPad 12″ with a built-in keyboard and Mac OS X system. It is the new direction of the laptop and again all manufacturers will follow these steps (changes)
That's how Apple handled Lenovo. He sells the tablet + keyboard combination under the name Yoga. Even the non-touch tablet you mentioned is a contradiction. It's too weak for me. A dual-core seems to me to be too small for all work. Good for books and documents, but otherwise I can't see.
look at the prices like sli above...tvl
http://store.apple.com/cz/iphone
and look how the dollar has gone up since December. I also cursed at first and then I looked at the development of the course over the last 6 months and it was a blow to the stick. I used to think that a dollar was worth two...
Dear sir, the dollar was not going "up"... The euro was falling.
Dear Sir, The dollar has been going up against world currencies for several months now. Try not to lecture, but first to find out the state of affairs.
It's all been there for a long time, so Apple is catching up rather than setting the trend. Surface and other tablets with Win8 = full computer + tablet as a bonus. In addition, I can choose exactly what I need. Otherwise, the physical connector is definitely not a relic, but I see the future as one connector for everything = usb, but without the need for reductions. So everything will be connected via USB, now it's the turn of manufacturers of monitors and other peripherals that don't yet connect via USB.
Question, the new charging connector probably won't behave like MagSafe? Or I haven't seen a mention of it anywhere. It would be quite a step back I think.
I take it to mean that it's a different AIR, they're just confusing it with the name, this isn't supposed to be a full-fledged computer, what's the point. this is a computer to be able to e-mail on vacation and systematically carry another backup disk with you, because this super-thin body will be constantly full
Why shouldn't it be a full-fledged computer? The vast majority of people on a "full-fledged computer" just browse, listen to music, watch movies, view photos and videos at will... Nothing more... And this machine will be perfectly fine for them ;-) And what is the backup disk for? I download a movie or series, watch it, delete it... I have music on Spotify in the cloud... So documents on the computer, a photo here and there... 256 GB will be fine ;-)
exactly because, you write yourself why it is not a full-fledged computer, the browser is better ipad
No, I'm not writing :-)
but you write:) you write that the computer doesn't have to have anything, store anything, doesn't have to know how to process these calculations, doesn't have to do anything because you don't need it for anything, you need it as remote access to your cloud, to look at photos and dig into your music...
this is not a full-fledged portable computer, it is a class higher, it has to be able to handle the job, not a text code writer
My iTunes address book is currently 1,2 TB, will it fit there? Probably not, so it's a wonderful piece for rich editors who feel like writing on an iPad. In the last cases, it is nonsense and at an unbelievable price.
Now I understand why people make fun of those who buy things from Apple, because this is really a mockery!
Well, living in the last decade and requiring everything to be offline isn't really Apple's problem. A lot of people don't work like that anymore :-) And Apple clearly said in their presentation that this MacBook is made for them... Remember that Americans, for example, eat movies from Netflix, series from Hulu, music from Spotify, etc., they have photos on iCloud... What do they need more than 256 or 512 GB for?
I think of it as an absolutely ideal sleeping bag. I have practically everything in the cloud. Movies, music, photos... And at home I can also connect a wireless disk, I have an Apple TV with my 27″ monitor, I haven't used flash drives for a long time... So I don't have a problem :-) On the contrary, I really like the mobility with 920 grams, I'll let it like that. I'm not saying that I'll go for it right away, but when the MBP 2009 is used up (so far it still runs like new), I'd choose this one :-)
And how do you play music in the car?
Personally, I will live for a long time in the last century, because I do not intend to freely distribute all private information and photos on the Internet :-). And the Americans in particular, after several scandals and currently, according to their obsession, I'm still surprised that they haven't given up on saving to the cloud :-).
The fact that they are online all the time, I understand with their data options, but here? So I'm a bit shy at the cottage and I don't take it as a disadvantage ;-).
By the way, when you describe that everything is on the net and the cloud, why do you want to buy such an expensive device and not buy an iPad instead? I find it even more portable than this MACbook and ideal for content consumption.
Or I don't need another iPad, I want a computer.
I deal with music in the car simply... The most popular tracks from Spotify are saved to my mobile phone, which I have connected to the radio.
Otherwise, I don't feel like such an important person for someone to climb into my cloud :-)
I have wi-fi and LTE at the cottage, so I don't have a problem with that either. And FUP I have 4GB, which is enough for me.
Otherwise, I have an iPad, but I haven't used it since I bought the iPhone 6+, it stopped making sense to me. Compared to Plusk, it doesn't offer much, so I usually prefer to use the phone. I like OSX on the Mac, and the fact that it always works completely independently, not like the iPad, which is more of an add-on to the computer. Oh, and also a hardware keyboard, because I write for a living (I already expect someone to go through my comments and look for mistakes, so I write straight away that I write like a pig when writing in discussions) ;-)
So you are a happy person :-).
I personally have more than 20 GB of favorite music, and since I listen to it for 5-7 hours a day, I already have it all saved and my mobile phone wouldn't take it all.
At the cottage, I'm happy for the 3G that looks like it or the slightly more stable EDGE, so it's not a hit parade :-).
You can buy a keyboard for the iPad, which turns it into a bit of a MAC ;-). There is no iPad MAC approval at all.
I quite understand the iPhone 6+ as a replacement for the iPad, but I wouldn't want to drag it around because it would only fit in my bag ;-).
Well, I have a Plusko with 128GB memory, so memory for music is not a problem for me if I wanted to have it there :-) I used to have an iPod Classic and all my music with me, today an iPhone with a huge capacity, about 10GB of the most listened to music, the rest in the cloud :-)
Well, it's still sometimes a problem with the data, what will I talk about. I know I'm lucky in that, though... Being offline sometimes wouldn't hurt either :-D
I was also worried that the plus wouldn't fit in my pocket, but in the end it did... So I'm satisfied :-) And if it ever got into a bagel, that would be the watch... In my opinion, that's exactly the reason why it's introduced at a similar time as the giant phone ;-)
By the way, legally purchased applications take up most of my time in iTunes, and if they stop being sold in iTunes, you're out of luck and you've lost them, so the great cloud backup is really for 2 things. That's why I need local backups.
More technical: “USB is the new DVD drive, he hints.” So maybe he hints, but to indicate the end of USB he chose… USB. It's still new/unexpanded, but it's still USB.
Otherwise, I see it similarly, that Apple's current ideal is a razor without connectors.
A designer style bag, nothing more, nothing less. Especially not for work.
Why not at work? Our entire company is switching to MacBook Air, the only exceptions are the designers with iMacs... as a programmer I have no problem with it, so what kind of work are we talking about here?
Yes, if it is enough for someone to press keys on a small display all day long, without the need to connect to the network, connect peripherals, etc., then yes, but for that all you need is a device at half the price, maybe even smaller. Neither the design nor the absence of necessary connectors is a benefit for users, only for Apple's cash register.
This is the road to hell.
The ideal laptop for me :-) Indeed. I don't do anything extra on it, I don't have to connect anything to it, I have everything in the "boxes". The only thing that bothers me is that the apple doesn't shine!
So I'm happy with the news and I know at least 5 other people who will jump into it too.
don't shine apple…tragedy!!!!
oh well, that says enough about who the product is aimed at
:D but you have to realize that there are more types of work than writing on a computer - whether it's text or codes, it's still the same activity. But what do you need graphics, photos, video, audio? Here in these fields, Apple has a lot of people who simply need more performance, need more ports, etc.
he will probably buy another apple product, right? what's wrong with that?
So, as a developer, can you get by with a 256GB disk to be able to charge?
I'm also a developer and I'm fine with a 128GB drive. What is the problem?
If I leave aside the fact that you destroy the SSD disk over time with frequent builds, I have the disk quite full with other data as well, so I would not want to tackle another 2-5 GB project.
I write around 10 GB of data per day, which is quite unpleasant. But I wouldn't want to develop without SSD.
are you a programmer do you want to tell me that the code you code is so simple that you can run it in parallel on Aire????? you're kidding me
Hello,
Can I ask you what kind of applications you are building if 2.9 GHz is not enough for your processor turbo boost? Even if it was a big project, you won't build the whole project every time you change the code, since then projects are divided into libraries :) and only the part that changes is built :). I am a c++ programmer and I work in research and I work on a Toshiba under linux and in terms of performance it is enough to compile hpc programs mpi, openmp and testing on small instances and it has much weaker parameters than this 12″. :) So it has weak parameters, I wouldn't even say.
I see the impossibility of connecting an external monitor to the new Mac Book Air as its biggest shortcoming
You can connect an external monitor there without any problems. You can choose hdmi or vga connection. You just have to buy a (not very cheap) adapter.
and guess what port do the apps have at home?????
It's pretty simple, you take a reducer for 2500,-, add another reducer for 1000,- and it goes like crazy :-D
Well, at the outset I have to say that the new MB surprised me a little - if not caught me by surprise. I wonder what a portless laptop like this is actually for? school? No, as far as I know, USB flash drives are still used there; work? Well, maybe for programming, with the fact that I will compile it elsewhere. Graphic Design? I honestly can't imagine that at all. A journalist? mm there maybe yes, music? But there is also a need for some performance, so no, etc...
Of course, I am not among the target group, as I am a programmer and I need to connect a disk/flash drive here and there. After all, the Internet is not yet available everywhere and I think it will take another Friday. Of course it's a revolution, but I... I'm very conservative and mainly I'm a bit against all those clouds. If I were to have this laptop, I would also buy a powerful server and a high-quality fast internet connection (120 Mb/s / 60 Mb/s), which I still don't have anywhere near where I live. Between us, 50 / 25 Mb/s is not enough for some 15 GB HD movie that I normally watch in my spare time.
I don't think this NTB will sell much because it doesn't fit anywhere, but who knows. Apple excels in one industry best and that industry is – marketing and it is well aware of it.
So let's sum it up - Apple has again shown great news such as the new, I'm not afraid to say extremely thin MacBook, but for the other computers (MBP, MBA, MBPR) as far as I can see, only the performance has increased. And maybe they changed the labels of the "function keys" on the keyboard (instead of cmd command; ctrl control, etc.)
If I missed something or forgot something, I apologize and feel free to add or correct me. Thank you.
They didn't change the keyboard labels, that's what divided them between the presented English keyboard and your Czech keyboard.
+ news for MBPr, which also received the new touchpad with forcetouch.
Thanks for the addition Dalibore
I just wanted to put the labels on the keyboard in the first place, otherwise your opinion obviously has something in it ;)
This is not a NB for everyone, but I think it will sell - the Apple logo will decide. I've been an Apple user for many years, but I know that today many people buy it just for the image, and for them it's a perfect scam. That is, except for one defect - the logo does not light up, which can have a greater impact on sales here than the absence of a connector and (in)performance.
Well, the apple went out - I don't think there's any need to comment further.
People who buy an apple for image will probably miss it a lot. However, people who use Apple for work and are comfortable with OS X, like me, won't care if the apple on the back is lit or not. What matters is how the system behaves and whether the apple lights up or not.
I am also a long-time Apple user, but it was never because of the image, but because of the system and applications. I like things functional and fast, and OS X delivers. So while it's true that I haven't upgraded to OS X 10.10 yet. in short, because I have very expensive graphics and development applications on my computer, which do not yet support the new system, and also because many people have problems with the new system - for some people it crashes at start-up, for others the applications crash, for others there is no internet connection, etc. .in short, the system does not run smoothly and is still not fine-tuned. 10.10 was a step aside after the successful series 10.6 – 10.9, even though 10.5 was also good
Guys, guys, why are you making such a fuss. After all, the air remained, if you want an ultrabook. And if you want something different, and I have to say that the design is really good, then buy it.
That's really a question, what sense will it make for Apple in the future to maintain an "air" that is thicker and less portable than this. Air will soon stop making sense, because it won't replace PROcko and it won't catch on either.
:Oh, the apple doesn't shine on him! So fuck off!! It doesn't light up on the iPad and iPhone either, and no one cares!
Nicely written, unlike the first article about the new MacBook with thought and insight.
I do not understand this well. Those complaints. You dumbass. I rarely watch TV, but I remember well that I don't have to watch a program I don't like. I can toggle it on or off. That's why I don't understand the nonsense in the discussion about what it should have, what it shouldn't have, how inefficient, very thin, light it is, or how something similar is already produced by someone else, preferably Microsoft. Oh, and that it's expensive. So don't buy it yet. Don't criticize. Don't watch it, you might not like it. Turn off your stupid talk or switch to some site about other products. According to the available information and photos, I am extremely satisfied with the new MacBook. I'm not saying I'll buy it, I don't have a reason yet, but it's beautiful, it's a sensational size, and with a 12 display, I've experienced that it's enough. It is miniature, yet a laptop with a large keyboard. For 3 years I have hardly been without a MacBook in combination with an iPad. Like I was carrying nothing compared to what I was lugging around before the MacBook. And I really like the idea of having something a little smaller than a MacBook Air in my bag, but OS X can do it and it doesn't bite when the weather changes.
Well, since I'm trying not to be a moron, I won't berate how stupid it is, especially since I haven't seen it in real life, haven't tried it, haven't tried it... Oh, and I won't list what it can't be used for either. Because if it can't be used for something, I just reach for something that can be used. I don't feel that the hardware offer is small on the market. And I do not feel that I would not choose a machine, or a combination of machines, that will meet my requirements. My only limitation is the requirement for os. So something with OS X please…
All (or at least most of them) negative reviews stem from the fact that there was a MacBook Pro for super professionals, for people who still want a good computer but better mobility, but it doesn't have to be a super machine, there was a MacBook Air, only *it didn't have retina display*. As long as a person does not work on a retina display, he does not know what he is missing, he reverts to stupid habits. All MacBook Air users were washing the retina display and didn't get it, the shoulder came instead. Although it is light, it is a total shoulder. For example, I liked the Macbook Air, that a person came to work, connected the keyboard, trackpad and monitor and still had a decent machine that could be used for serious work without having to lug around a heavier Pro. I will think about the new Macbook, because I love lightness on the road, but the 480p camera, poor performance unworthy of the 21st century, almost zero connectivity with peripherals via cable and, last but not least, the price are completely off the mark. The glowing apple is really the last thing that interests me, but one simply expects that the new product will not perform worse than the current one.
Design comes first. For me, as a professional graphic artist, MB is insufficient, so I just hope that MBP does not undergo a similar castration.
it certainly won't pass apple Mbpro needs - that's the supporting branch of the laptop division for him
On every server where the new macbook was written, the same discussion is going on - a bunch of people who necessarily need terrible performance for work, many connectors to connect everything they have at home and bragging about their hard work and condemning the work of others - typically a programmer against a journalist , when one does not accept the work of another and does not consider his work as work enough. However, I don't understand why people are so aggressively against this news. Those who want performance will go for the MB, those who don't will look for the Mbair or the MB, so where is the problem. I have not read anywhere that apple is canceling MBPro and will only offer this new product in the notebook division. I personally will buy it and why? it's enough for MY work. I'm a trader and whether someone considers it a serious job or not (I somehow don't understand the term), I earn a decent amount of money from it. If I go to a cafe or just sit in the garden in the pergola and need to do something more than the ipad can do, this new product will allow me to do it. On the other hand, I will not go to MBpro, because its performance is replaced by a workstation at home, so Mbpro is too powerful for me. I want a device between an iPad and a desktop and this will do exactly that.
