In the Starbucks coffee shop on the street, there are many people with coffee in front of the laptop with the Apple logo on and taking photos and posting microblogs. From March 2015, the laptop of these people will gradually become a new, lighter and thinner MacBook with a 12 inch screen. Unfortunately, the new logo will not glow.
To get down to business, the new MacBook released this time has reached a quite distraught level in both thickness and weight - 13.1mm thick, and the weight is just over two kilograms. Although it sounds like nothing, it is almost unbelievable considering that the screen size of the new MacBook has reached 12 inches. Although the SD card slot has been sacrificed for the new MacBook to achieve its current appearance, it is actually worth the slim and long endurance.
In order to make the MacBook thinner, Apple has made some adjustments to the existing design. One of them is the keyboard. This keyboard must be a little strange for beginners, even for former MacBook users. Although Apple claims that the new butterfly wing design can bring a very good touch, for users, The new keyboard is still very hard, and the key stroke is very short. It feels like tapping on the touch screen of a tablet computer with your fingers. When typing at full speed, the automatic error correction function must be turned on. After a period of time, you should be used to it.
The accuracy of the new touchpad is quite high, but once again, it feels a bit strange - because this touchpad is actually fixed and cannot be pressed, but the feedback simulated by vibration will give people the feeling that it has really been pressed down, and it is still quite refreshing after several times of use. On the other hand, Apple's Force Click function is not intuitive when it is actually used. The way to use it is to move the pointer to the target, press and hold the touchpad, just like practicing karate against the touchpad. After pressing it, you will feel a simulated feedback vibration, Then the Force Click function is enabled. Apps that support this function, such as Apple's QuickTime, will correspond to different functions. For example, when clicking the fast forward or fast backward button, the fingers press harder, The faster the fast forward or fast backward speed of QT is, in fact, quite interesting, but for a company that is unwilling to put more than one button on its mouse, this human-computer interaction mode still gives us a sense of OOC.
After repeatedly using the Force Click function for several times, I personally feel that this function is not so challenging to IQ. After several times of use, it feels more natural. In a DEMO, the program suggests that I try to fast forward a video at different speeds. After painstaking practice, Finally, you can control the fast forward speed slightly freely, instead of using 60 times fast forward directly.
The new MacBook body will have three colors, and many people may think that the gold model will be ugly and popular. Personally, I feel good. Among the three color boxes, gray is my favorite, and no matter what color you choose, they will look extremely thin.
In terms of performance, the current short hands-on play can't reflect its real performance. As for the experience, it is very smooth. No frame drop can be seen on the 2304 × 1440 screen. The 256GB flash memory entry version is equipped with 1.1GHz Core M processor (2.4GHz Remax) as standard, The top version of 512GH flash memory is equipped with a 1.2GHz Core M processor (Remax 2.6GHz) as standard, and both can be equipped with a 1.3GHz Core M processor (Remax 2.9GHz, which is actually the only thing that can be configured). The whole system is equipped with 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 RAM as standard, and the GPU is Intel HD5300.
The built-in battery capacity is 39.7Wh, which can support up to 9 hours of web browsing Time or 10 hours of video playback time. The original OS X Yosemite operating system runs. In this way, the endurance even exceeds the Apple watch released by Apple at this press conference.
Many people may think that this high-resolution screen is the highlight of this MacBook. Here, I want to tell you, no, absolutely not. The real highlight is a USB Type-C interface on the side of the fuselage, which is both a power interface and a display interface, Even it can do everything that can be done with cables at present (although Apple has mercifully reserved the 3.5mm headphone connector).
However, it is a pity that this interface does not use Apple's famous MagSafe interface style, but the versatility of this interface still makes it worth the ticket price. First, the new MacBook's long endurance ensures that users do not need to connect to the power supply at any time to use it, and this interface also has the feeling of a future universal interface - in the past 30 years, The YY of this universal interface has never stopped, but it is still a bit difficult to implement. Today, it has been launched by Apple, which has changed the world many times. Maybe this dream of universal interface can really come true in the end?
However, at present, users of the new MacBook still need an adapter to make their new MacBook feel aggrieved in the reality of "backwardness". However, if it can be recognized by various manufacturers, the popularization speed of this universal multi-function charging/data transmission/connection interface may be faster than we imagine, And the future may not be so far away.
Oh, yes, today's new MacBook will be officially launched on April 10. The basic model with 256GB of internal memory will be sold for 1299 dollars (about 8134 yuan), and the top version with 512GB of storage and better processor performance will be sold for 1599 dollars (about 10013 yuan). All the above prices do not include the price of the optional processor. Do you want to buy it soon?
