New MacBook Air & Pro

 

Retina MacBook; New MacBook Air and Pro

 

—The new 12-inch Retina MacBook (starting at $1,299) is separate from Apple's Air and Pro lines. It weighs 2 pounds and is 24 percent thinner than the current MacBook Air. It comes in three iPhone- and iPad-style colors (gold, silver and dark gray). There's a newly redesigned keyboard and trackpad that can tell taps from presses (Apple calls it "Force Touch"). It boasts only one external port, a USB-C connector that will handle charging and external storage and displays; it will not have the traditional MagSafe charger available in other MacBook models.

—Updates to the Macbook Air and Pro lines were slight, including processor and graphics upgrades, and a redesigned Force Touch trackpad.
