Apple gave the MacBook an upgrade, awarding it the title of the company’s thinnest and lightest Mac yet.
And did we mention it now comes in pink?
The new MacBook, which now measures 13.1mm thick and weighs 2.03 pounds, features a 12-inch Retina display, full-sized keyboard, Fore Touch trackpad and a single USB-C port. It packs in a sixth-gen dual-core Intel Core M processor, while the Intel HD Graphics 515 are said to deliver up to 25 percent faster graphics performance than its predecessor. The lithium-polymer battery has also been improved to Apple’s claim of 10 hours of web browsing and 11 hours of video playback.
The new MacBook also has PCIe-based flash storage for quicker app launching and file opening, said Apple.
