Apple unveiled a new, thin MacBook that computer comes in a gold enclosure and resembles an iPad. The computer, which Apple claims "reinvents the notebook", weighs 2-pounds and is 13.1mm thin at its thickest point. It is 24 percent thinner than the company's smallest computer.
The new computer had been rumored ahead of the event. As had been suggested, the new computer has a full-sized keyboard but much reduced ports. Instead, the company uses Bluetooth and wifi technology to connect to peripherals and other computers. It will have just two plugs — one for headphones, and another for charging as well as connecting displays and other devices.
The new laptop had been expected to replace the MacBook Air, but has been added to the line-up alongside the MacBook Pro. Both the Air and Pro laptops received spec bumps, and the Air is now thinner - and in many ways higher spec - than the new laptop.
