Pricing in USD. It is sitting on the price line of a low end MBP.

Only Intel Core M allows Apple to come out with such a slim design, fanless and the most power efficient notebook. But Intel Core M is one powerful mobile processor.

there will be...Apple's single MacBook connector supports power, DisplayPort, VGA, data, and HDMI.

similar to this Acer Store: MINI CP CABLE TO VGA/LAN/USB

But, what Apple did now is to make use of USB-C.

I can forsee Apple ditching lightning port for USB-C for the next generation iPhones and iPad.

The USB-C is just a port. U need to connect the connector into the USB-C port and then attach another cable into the connector just to charge. Troublesome much...

If u refer to my image, just change the end part to a USB-C port. U attach to ur MacBook and then u will still need to connect another cable into it in order to charge. Unless, its either u charge ur MacBook using the port or u use the connector and don't charge your Macbook. Or, Use the connector and do everything...

You will be able to charge it directly through the USB-C port. Only HDMI, VGA and display port you will need an adapter.

first thing that came to my mind was the crazy low key travel, then within the next minute they explain themselves it's a new technology/design also no more iconic apple glow logo, and backlit is now a single dot (?), i guess they have to cut some corner to stay as leaders in the thin-laptop category. still, what an engineering marvel on the battery, trackpad and connectivity ports.

gold on a laptop is... like a youngster wearing a gold rolex.

luckily the pricing is still on the lower end, meant for people who don't need the Pro line. or, meant for people who need mobility without the need for several wired peripherals. i just wished they did something more for the Pro

That $100+ more exp than the cheapest 13inch macbook pro which have better specs right?
