(8GB is a new baseline, by the way, including on the 13-inch MacBook Air.) No matter what you get, though, performance-wise the MacBook still feel more like an iPad than a Mac Pro. It goes all the way up to $1,599, for a 1.3GHz Core M7 chip, plus 8 gigs of memory and 512 gigs of storage. You can get a 1.1GHz Core M3 processor plus 8 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of storage for $1,299. Skylake also promises better battery life, and indeed Apple says the new MacBook lasts a full hour longer than the previous model, up to 10 hours of web browsing and 11 hours of movie playback. Those are big numbers, though probably not big enough to make you ditch last year's model if you're already a MacBook owner. That chip is part of the Skylake generation that brings somewhere between 10 and 20 percent processing improvement, and as much as 40 percent better graphics performance (Apple lists a 25 percent improvement for the MacBook).

The MacBook now comes with Intel's sixth-generation Core M processor, which brings a bunch of improvements. Yeah.Īll the differences other than the new color option are internal. Oh, and let's not bury the lede: it comes in rose gold now. Today, though, Apple is making a few steps toward turning its sleek little laptop from a novelty to a workhorse. When it came out a year ago, buying Apple's new super-thin 12-inch MacBook felt like springing for a fancy turntable-it wasn't exactly a practical purchase, but dammit if you didn't want one anyway.
