Guess who's back, back again? MacBook's back, tell a friend!

Two years ago, I was looking forward to Psy's follow-up to Gangnam Style. One year ago, I was looking forward to Pam Dawber's guest appearance on The Crazy Ones. Right now, there is something for us to look forward to: Apple's upcoming ultra thin 12-inch MacBook with a Retina display, which has been overshadowed by all of the Apple Watch news that's been surfacing over the course of the last week. The super slim device is set to launch online and in-stores today, alongside the Apple Watch. Many of its reviewers so far loved the extremely thin size of the MacBook, its impressive Retina display, and its Force Touch Trackpad, but were unhappy with some of the compromises that are made with the machine - lack of ports (just one USB-C port and one headphone jack), the keyboard, the processing speed, and the high price. Almost all of the reviews pointed out some of the shortcomings in the Core M processor, noting that it's much slower than Apple's other notebook offerings and suitable for lighter use, much like a Chromebook. It was, however, able to run Photoshop and Logic Pro, just slower. Several of the reviewers disliked the new keyboard when first trying it due to its thin keys with little travel, but most were able to adjust to the different feel of typing on it after a short period of time. The increased size of the keys was also hard to adjust to for touch typists. Battery life in general ranged from seven hours up, but most of the reviews saw shorter battery life than the promised nine hours of web browsing. Overall, the consensus between reviewers seemed to be that while this is a great MacBook, it's not a solution for everyone and is going to appeal to a niche set of people due to its high price and the performance compromises. My advice would be to wait until a new MacBook Pro comes out. It might be able to fit more USB-C ports, maybe a traditional USB port or two, and/or possibly some of the other ports that graced the sides of previous MacBooks.
