<div>It is really difficult to fix something that is not broken, but Apple has yet again proved all wrong. The company announced a brand new line of MacBook on Monday (9 March) which includes some very interesting upgrades that will definitely make Apple lovers drool. The new MacBook doesn’t fall in the Air or the Pro series, rather it is somewhere in between. <br /><br />Adorned in a metal chassis, the new MacBook is lighter and slimmer than any of the previous models and will now come in a brand new gold colour as well. The new machine will come with a 12-inch Retina display and includes a redesigned keyboard which will offer a better tactile feedback and better backlit illumination thanks to individual LED lights underneath every single key. Even the touch-pad has been redesigned with a new pressure sensor which can sense the pressure of the taps you make. <br /><br />On the inside, the logic-board has been largely reduced and is now as small as one would find in a tablet. This was achieved with Intel’s new Core M processor which does not require a fan for cooling, making it silent as well. The inside is dominated by battery packs which on its own are quite unique. Apple has used an innovative battery which has a layered wafer design to accommodate the curve at the bottom. <br /><br />One of the biggest features, however, was the introduction of a reversible USB-C port, the first on any computing machine. This port is universal as it can be used to charge the laptop, exchange data and also be used as a display port. While it does sound exciting, there is a drawback. Apart from a headphone jack, Apple has only put one USB-C port on the new MacBook which will make it impossible to charge and use a USB drive or connect to an external display at the same time. <br /><br />On the configuration side, the new MacBook will come with a 1.1 GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor, 8GB of memory, 256GB of SSD storage and Intel HD Graphics 5300 with an approximate price of $1,299 (Rs 82,000 approx); and the higher configuration including a 1.2 GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor, 8GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage will start at $1,599 (Rs 1,00,000 approximately).<br /><br />The MacBook Pro and Air models have also seen an upgrade and will now feature the new 5th gen Intel processors, new Thunderbolt 2 ports and a slight cut in prices. </div>
