So let's talk about the new MacBook that was announced at Apple's Spring Forward Conference last week. The new Macbook is actually 25% thinner than the MacBook Air which is crazy because the MacBook Air is already really thin. As well as being super thin is has a vibrant retina display. Due to the fact that the Macbook is so thin Apple had change the way they made Macbooks. First off the keyboard instead of using a scissor mechanism which makes the keys little more flappy and flimsy they decided to use a butterfly mechanism that makes the keys more firm and more accurate. Next is the track pad since this macbook is so thin they had to it redesign in which the created the "Force Touch" track pad. This track pad is very unique in the way that is functions since tricks the user into believing that is actually "clicks". How it works is through force sensors which detects how much pressure you apply. The way it tricks you into thinking you are actually clicking is called "haptic feedback". Its a vibration that adds a sense of touch. They didn't just change those things now, the MacBook only has one port that doubles as a charger and a USB called C-USB. Lastly, is the battery. Since it's so small they had to change the battery to battery sheets that has 9 hour battery life.
Starting Price: $1299
