MacBook(Retina, 12-inch, 2015 Early)
Light. Years ahead.
Background
The new MacBook was announced on March 9, 2015 and shipped on April 10, 2015. It has a tapered design similar to that of the MacBook Air and is available in space gray, silver and gold. Other features include a high-resolution Retina Display, a Force Touch trackpad, a redesigned keyboard, and two ports: a headphone/microphone jack and a USB 3.1 Type-C (generation 1, up to 5 Gbit/s) port for charging, data transfer, and video output. Compared to earlier MacBooks, the 2015 model's keys have 17 percent more surface area and its keystrokes 40 percent less depth. The keys use a "butterfly" mechanism that allows for a more stable keystroke than traditional scissor-like mechanisms. The Intel Core M processor does not require a fan, reducing the size of the logic board and allowing the laptop to run silently. The letters on the MacBook's keyboard are set in San Francisco, a typeface designed by Apple in 2014. All previous MacBooks used VAG Rounded.
