MacBook family

Look no further for the ultimate in feathery light and thin notebooks

The MacBook is Apple’s latest addition to its notebook family, and is designed for portability above all else. It’s ridiculously thin (just 13.1mm), whisper-quiet, weighs under a kilogram and yet manages to include a fullsize QWERTY keyboard, Force Touchenabled trackpad and Retina display. One compromise is the lack of connectivity – you get one solitary USB-C port that serves multiple purposes: as a charger, USB 3.0 port or display output using appropriate cables.

The MacBook Air may be cheaper and more powerful, but the MacBook has been engineered to perform everyday tasks like word processing or web browsing while on the go, thanks to a battery that goes 7.5 hours between charges. Its Intel Core M processor is given a helping hand by the quick flash storage and 8GB of RAM.
