It's never been a worst time to buy a new MacBook.

想買一台蘋果筆電，大概沒有比現在更糟的時機點了

The MacBook Air, the regular MacBook, and the MacBook Pro,

MacBook Air、正規的 MacBook，還有 MacBook Pro

But each one comes with this killer trade-off

但是每一款都有某項殺手級缺失，

that makes it hard to recommend one over all of the others.

讓三款裡真的很難挑出一部最好的

It has all the ports a lot of people need:

Standard USB ports, an SD card reader, a display out.

標準 USB 插槽、記憶卡讀卡機插槽、外接螢幕插孔

And that's good because today a lot of modern laptops require you to buy

這點很棒，因為市面上很多筆電會要你另外購買

dongles and other accessories in order to work with stuff you want to plug into it.

轉接頭及其他配件才能順利連接

It's barely changed in the last eight years,

過去推出的八年以來它幾乎不曾改變

reducing the bezels, putting on hi-res screens.

or doing graphics, or anything like that.

It's just a basic machine that you can get at a pretty good price.

它就只是一台經濟實惠的基本款

and there are rumors that it's gonna drop even further later this year.

還有人說今年稍晚可能會再降價

it checks all the boxes you're gonna want.

It has one of the most powerful Intel processors

它配備有英特爾其中一款最強大的處理器

you could get, at least, 12 hours a day on it,

你整天下來至少可以用上 12 小時

meaning you don't have to worry about carrying around a charger everywhere you go.

你就不必去哪裡都得帶著充電器

And even though it does look a little bit older,

it's still plenty portable and light enough to take around with you.

Now let's talk about the regular MacBook.

This one came out a few years ago you might remember,

你大概記得這款在幾年前剛推出

It's almost like an iPad bolted on to a keyboard.

它幾乎是一台 iPad 接上鍵盤的樣子

and, of course, that gorgeous hi-res Retina display.

當然還有超棒的高解析視網膜顯示屏

But there are also a ton of drawbacks to this one.

First of all, it only has one port that you use for everything.

首先它只有一處連接埠，你外接什麼都要用它

問題就在於如果你沒有外插傳輸器，

you can't charge and plug in an accessory at the same time.

And most accessories don't work with Thunderbolt right now,

而且現在多數的配件都無法與 Thunderbolt 傳輸介面相容，

Another problem with the MacBook is the power performance.

MacBook 另一項缺點是它的效能表現

It's way underpowered compared to the, even the MacBook Air.

它的效能甚至遠遠不足 MacBook Air

You're not gonna be able to do a lot of photo editing,

or video editing, or other intensive tasks.

And it's way too expensive for what you get, spec by spec.

At 1,300 bucks, you're essentially paying for the design and portability above everything else.

你等於是拿 1,300 塊美金去買它出色的設計與輕便性而已

and it comes in two sizes: 13 inch and 15 inch.

which was inspired by the regular MacBook,

the MacBook Pro has four Thunderbolt ports,

MacBook Pro 配有四處 Thunderbolt 連接埠

meaning you can plug more stuff in it at once, and charge.

你就可以一次外接更多配件，同時也能充電

But the marquee feature of the MacBook Pro is the new TouchBar.

但 MacBook Pro 最鮮明的產品特色是它的 TouchBar 觸控板

When Apple first introduced the TouchBar,

it tried to make it seem a lot cooler than it was.

it makes it more annoying to hunt down the keys you wanna find.

A lot of users who have bought the MacBook Pro for the last couple of years,

have complained that specs of dust or dirt can get caught in the keys,

都曾抱怨髒灰塵有時候會跑進鍵盤縫隙，

That seems like a stupid, fatal flaw for something that's so expensive to use,

對這麼一台昂貴筆電而言，這點似乎是愚蠢又致命的缺失

and Apple still hasn't really addressed the issue.

蘋果卻還是沒有好好處理這問題

If you can find the older version of the MacBook Pro,

the model before the big redesign a couple years ago,

也就是近年大改版前的那一款，

and it performs just as well as today's MacBook Pro.

翻新後效能跟市面上的 MacBook Pro 幾乎一樣好

There's no perfect answer when it comes to picking a new MacBook right now.

想挑一部蘋果筆電，我現在無法提供絕對的好選項

and the whole lineup is in dire need of a refresh.

而且整條產品線都非常需要更新整理

如果你真的需要一台新的蘋果筆電，

but at least it checks all the boxes for what most people need.

可是至少它能滿足多數人的需求

it even fits inside one of these envelopes that we've all seen floating around the office.

輕薄到可以裝進這種我們在辦公室裡常常見到、傳過來傳過去的信封

And so, let me go ahead and show it to you now.
