new Macbook Air just dropped https://www.apple.com/uk/macbook-air/

I like it, but they're mad thinking they can switch people over to USB-C like that. There's no normal USB ports, just 1 USB-C port for the whole thing.

 

Imagine the USB adapter revenues.

 

 

 

In the box, MacBook buyers will only find a 29W USB-C Power Adapter and an USB-C Charge Cable, but Apple will sell additional accessories in its stores. Separately, these accessories cost $49 and $29, respectively.

The company has so far listed three additional adapters, including a $19 USB-C to USB Adapter (which lets you connect USB-based devices such as hard drives and memory sticks), a $79 USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter (features USB-C, HDMI and USB ports) and a $79 VGA Multiport Adapter (features USB-C, VGA and USB ports).

Even though they’re listed on Apple’s online store, the accessories aren’t yet available for purchase, as the 12-inch MacBook won’t be released until April 10th.

Typical Apple.

12" screen as well is pretty pointless.

[The King]

Why typical Apple?

It's their first non propietery power cable in a MacBook? All laptops will be using USB-type C soon. It only got finalised in August last year.

Its aimed at the people who take their laptop to Starbucks. It's not designed for you to use at home. Think CEO who only writes a few emails.

[Greens]

Isn't that sector of people covered by the macbook air?

[Greens]

Also typical apple because I'm sure they could of included 1 standard USB port so people aren't forced to buy adaptors.

typical Apple as in

 

"do it our way or fuck off"

[i5_PRODUCER]

That gold macbook looks like some ugly asus transformer like device.

You can buy a separate 65 quid adapter that was haven't included in the box

 

The HP folios (which are similarly thin) come with the adapter you'll need for HDMI, VGA, ethernet etc..

its a shame that they have to lose the magsafe technology though, was one of their nice small innovations

so as I'm leaving my company I'll need to cop my own machine

 

anyone know a real reason to get 16gb? I mean I will be doing Photoshop and Logic Pro work on it, but does that really get better with 16gb? (I'm currently using 8gb and it doesn't seem to be an issue with Photoshop, haven't touched Logic in a minute though)

i got an 8GB 2014 pro .Its fully been capable of whatever i throw @ it

 

16GB just future proofs the machine in case you decide to install/use more intensive apps.

 

Logic will run fine & depending on how intensive the logic project is , its a sound card you'll need not ram.

 

I would go for the 16gb cause this soldered ram issue is a fucking joke & you never know what you'll need in the future.

[i5_PRODUCER]

True say it depends if he's buying the model before everything was soldered on , if so 8gb for now defo then swap it out for 16gb if & when needed.

[dub]

nah I'll be getting a new one, probably 2015 13" model, probably will get the 16gb and i7 upgrades just because

[Seth Rollins]

New update takes hours to download then doesn't install properly.

 

The fuck is going on???

[Seth Rollins]

I was on a shit connection in Spain. Come home and same.

 

Haven't noticed any difference though...
