Definitely curious about the specs here. My wife's been looking to upgrade her old MacBook Air and this might be it. Hopefully it's not hit by the typical shortages of the iPhone/iPad line.

 

[Namikaze]

I need the gold MacBook. Can't handle all that stability.

 

[Blooddimond]

The only port there is USB.

Oh, i'm dumb and thought that was something else.

 

[hwalker84]

Those are some well manicured fingers.

 

[LumpOfCole]

The gold one might look good with the right Iron Man decal.

 

[Mindwipe]

They fixed the power button being on the wrong side from the 9to5 renders.

Good, that was a stupid idea.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

that keyboard looks great

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Oh yeah talkin about keyboard switches oh yeah

 

[Antiwhippy]

They have a USB port...

A regular one? Didn't get a good look.

 

[ScepticMatt]

I'm not sold on the ultra short throw keyboard.

 

[Angelus Errare]

They want a full-size keyboard. That sort of requires a bezel at similar screen sizes.

Not really.

 

[akileese]

I just can't anymore with these Apple conferences. I have an iPhone plus, iPad, I'm getting a watch, an AIR so I am a fan of their products but these conferences are ridiculous. They are so up their own ass.

That's kind of Apple's thing. I mean, it isn't new. They've been this way for a while.

Individual backlit keys, invented by Apple 2015

 

[Enco]

I don't want or need a laptop but damn that's the best looking laptop I have ever seen.

 

[Imperial Hot]

RETINA LET'S GO

 

[mrklaw]

I don't see any USB ports on that laptop...

USB C on the left. Everything goes through there.

 

[Konka]

Damn I want that.

 

[Somnid]

Looks good, but I probably can't afford it yet.

 

[Jayayess1190]

Wonder if it has Core M or did they do some magic to put a U series in there?

 

[LyleLanley]

A regular one? Didn't get a good look.

USB type C

 

[KingKong]

goddamn that looks nice

 

[Deku Tree]

The big question: is it running ARM?

 

[Rockstar Beaver]

Who would actual buy this with no ports?

 

[freenudemacusers]

gold laptop, gold phone, gold watch

the age of gold is here

Who would actual buy this with no ports?

me

fuck ports

 

[Zane]

Is the VLC stream shitty and laggy for anyone else?

 

[-Horizon-]

new macbook air seems really nice

 

[dallow_bg]

Individual backlit keys, invented by Apple 2015

Poor trolling.

 

[betterhalf]

I think I might sell my iPad for this

 

[richiek]

Oh snap, Retina display....

I'm seriously considering selling my 2011 MacBook Pro.

 

[Fliesen]

to quote myself.

i don't think they're gonna take away any of the watch's spotlight by announcing a new, (according to rumors) USB-less 12 inch retina macbook air.

That's a device that would require far too much narrative. They couldn't mention this as a sidenote.

though i might eat my own hat tomorrow.

nom nom nom nom

 

[The Elite]

I hated the scissor mechanism.

 

[Zaph]

Those are some well manicured fingers.

Apple has the two best hand models in the world on retainer.

I'm not joking.

 

[EroticSushi]

The force confirmed.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Is the VLC stream shitty and laggy for anyone else?

The default is 8.5 Mbit, you can change it to 2500 or 3500

 

[Cse]

Force Touch Trackpad with an integrated taptic engine with adjustable clicking pressures.

Wow.

 

[bud]

wow four sensors

holy fuck a taptic engine

oh my god easy click anywhere

lord help me

 

[Corgi]

anyone else pushing keys on their keyboard? Think that guy has a faulty keyboard

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Will have to try that trackpad in person. Not sure that haptic feedback can replace the actual click of the current pad.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Whaaaaaaaaat hot dog


Omfg haptic feedback force touching omfg

 

[Fuchsdh]

Really curious how that feedback will work. Tap to click has always been inferior, but this is definitely far more involved.

 

[mrklaw]

slightly concerned about the trackpad and keyboard feel. Will need to play in the store for a while. Love the keyboard and trackpad on the air. I'm not a fan of tap to click - I need some physical give. Maybe force+haptic feedback will be good enough.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

adjustable clicking? lol

who still clicks anyway. tap to click is where it's at

 

[flyover]

Who would actual buy this with no ports?

I think a lot of people never use their ports. I only remember using mine for instrument input and the occasional flash drive in recent years.

 

[The Elite]

Is the VLC stream shitty and laggy for anyone else?

Yes.

 

[Zane]

The default is 8.5 Mbit, you can change it to 2500 or 3500

How?

 

[Chris R]

Who would actual buy this with no ports?

Give me a spec bumped old MBA over this Apple please!

 

[kaskade]

I want this. God damn, fuck you Apple.

 

[Frustrated_me]

wow four sensors

holy fuck a taptic engine

oh my god easy click anywhere

lord help me

remfaces

 

[dc89]

Hmm... maybe I will sell my 11" MacBook Air (2013) and upgrade. It still has 15 month's worth of guarantee too.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Apple invented the "right-click" lol
