The machine sitting on my lap is just a laptop.
-
But it’s more than that. It’s the future of laptops.
-
And it might not be your next laptop. But it’s definitely going to be the one after that.
-
It’s the new MacBook, and it’s AMAZING!
-
TINY MACBOOK, BIG FUTURE
-
The MacBook has one purpose in life
-
to be as small and portable as possible
-
without making you give up having a real laptop with a real keyboard.
-
It’s a ridiculously thin, incredibly light, almost impossibly small machine.
-
It has a high-resolution display, a fancy new keyboard,
-
and a trackpad that fits inside this tiny frame.
-
And it lasts about a full day of single charge.
-
Oh, and it’s beautiful.
-
To make it this small,
-
Apple had to invent some parts that go into it and compromise something like speed and ports.
-
But the result is a 12-inch, aluminum laptop that only weights about 2 pounds.
-
I seriously can’t get over how small and light this thing feels.
-
It’s like the first MacBook Air all over again.
-
And like the first MacBook Air, it’s expensive，starting at about $1299.
-
So, how did Apple make this?
-
Like I said: Inventions and Compromises.
-
Let’s start with the inventions.
-
The regular check-click keyboard that you see in every other Mac was too thick for this MacBook,
-
so Apple redesigned the keys.
-
They're wider but shallower.
-
With all new mechanism underneath,
-
even though they don't travel as far, they still feel really clicky.
-
And they even press down more evenly.
-
The first time you type on it, it does feel a little weird,
-
and it sounds kind of weird, too. But then you get used to it.
-
You can let your fingers gently glide over the keys,
-
or if you're like me, you can bang away as though you are using a typewriter.
-
Either works, and either way feels really good.
-
I also love the screen.
-
It’s a Retina screen with 2304 by 1440 pixels.
-
But Apple gives you four different scales to few things
-
because at full resolution it would be impossible to see anything.
-
The smallest scale is the one I use.
-
It gives me the same effect of screen size of a 13-inch MacBook Air only inside this tiny package.
-
Apple also changed the screen technology
-
to make it thinner, brighter, and more energy-efficient.
-
It’s probably my favorite thing about this laptop.
-
But the craziest invention is this forced-touch trackpad.
-
Inside it are four sensing-pads that can detect pressure.
-
That means when you click the top and the bottom, it feels exactly the same.
-
When you press down, there is a click, but you’re not clicking.
-
Instead, there’s a electronic magnate inside that makes you feel a click.
-
You can even adjust how strong that click feels.
-
Apple has built a all-source of tricks into the OS 10 to take advantage of it.
-
You can force-click to get definition of a word,
-
you can speed through a video in a variable speeds,
-
and eventually software of Mac could give you physical feedback depending what you are doing.
-
Like in iMovie, where the trackpad gives you a small click when you reach the end of a clip.
-
It’s a little weird, but it’s fun to imagine other possibilities.
-
And there’re other invention inside the MacBook.
-
The batteries are tiered, so the more that we can canned inside.
-
Apple says it lasts around 9 hours.
-
And our test says it lasts around 8 as long as you don’t push the processor too hard.
-
And if you really take it easy, you can have it last a long as 10 hours.
-
Those are all the inventions.
-
But now, let’s talk about the compromises.
-
The first thing is that it uses a processor that we haven’t really seen on a Mac yet
-
—the Intel Core M(首款採用 14 奈米製程技術的處理器).
-
The base model, which is what I’m testing,
-
runs what seems like a pretty pokey 1.1 gigahertz,
-
but it can go into a turbo-mode,
-
that makes about as fast as a four-year-old 11-inch MacBook Air.
-
That seems pretty slow, but what matters is that
-
this Mac feels fast enough for most of what I do, and a little bit too slow for the rest of it.
-
Web-browsing, E-mail, Twitter, Evernote,
-
all the usual apps that I use the fast majority of time runs just fine.
-
But open up a big photo library or try to edit a video in iMovie
-
and you'll eventually end up waiting.
-
It’s kind of like the ChromeBook
-
but instead of being limited by the web, you're limited by the speed.
-
For a lot of people, that tradeoff is worth it.
-
It probably would be for me.
-
Using that processor means that Apple can have a tiny logic board inside it.
-
And it doesn't need a fan at all.
-
It’s completely silent and though it does get a little warm, it’s never hot.
-
But there’s one more tradeoff that probably isn't worth it
-
-at least it’s not yet-it’s this port.
-
It’s called USB Type-C.
-
Other than the headphone jack, it’s the only port.
-
You use it for the power, you use it for connecting a monitor,
-
you use it for USB devices, iPhones, cameras, SD card readers, whatever.
-
And for all of those things, right now, you are going to need adaptors.
-
Since USB Type-C is brand new,
-
there aren't any devices that use it yet without using an adaptor.
-
So, for example, I haven’t been able to plug in my Apple computer into my Apple Cinema Display
-
because I don't have the adaptor yet.
-
That’s weird and annoying.
-
You can spend the same or less money on a laptop
-
that’s a little bit bigger and that doesn’t have any of these hassles.
-
Now here’s the thing about those two compromises, they’re about the future.
-
Someday, we'll have a processor that fits inside this tiny body
-
that is powerful enough to everything you really need it to do.
-
And someday, we won't need adaptors
-
because everything will just use the same plug.
-
For example, I was able to charge this MacBook of a standard battery brickthat was meant for a phone.
-
More than that, Apple’s betting that the only thing that you'll ever bother plug into this is the power cable.
-
But we're not there yet.
-
Wifi and Bluetooth are great,
-
but they're not as easy or as simple as plugging something in.
-
I think a lot of people remember the moment
-
when Steve Jobs pulled the original MacBook Air out of that interoffice memo envelope.
-
It was jaw-dropping.
-
But a lot of people forget that the very first MacBook Air had problems.
-
And some of the same problems as this MacBook.
-
There’re won’t enough ports, it was slow, and it was really expensive.
-
But the next version became the MacBook Air that you know now.
-
The one that everybody either uses or copies.
-
The one that change laptops for five years.
-
That’s this MacBook.
-
Even if you don’t buy it, it’s going to make your life better,
-
because in the future, all laptops are going to look like this.
-
But the problem with the future is it’s not here yet!
-
In the present, this laptop is kind of a hassle. But someday it won't be, and I can't wait!!!
