A niche addition to Apple's notebook lineup

It’s not as flashy a release as the much-anticipated Apple Watch, but the new MacBook is a boundary-pushing notebook for Apple. It eschews most cables in favor of wireless connectivity, delivers sharp visuals, and is a testing ground for new interactive technologies. The MacBook is Apple’s vision of the notebook of the future.
The first thing you’ll notice about the MacBook is its impressively streamlined size. The 12-inch Retina display is housed in an enclosure that’s a mere 13.1mm thick and weighs just 2.03 pounds. It makes the 13-inch MacBook Pro look like a behemoth and even looks slim next to the MacBook Air.
