Apple has released its 12 inches Macbook 2016 a couple of days back. The laptop has all the necessary upgrades people have been expecting in the new MacBook. However, has Apple been able to pull off its signature ‘innovation’ as it claims with its each product? Let’s find out here in the details below.
The 12 inch MacBook 2016 provides users with a much faster performance speed and an even larger storage. This MacBook is the first of its kind to be coming with Intel's latest generation processor, known as Skylake, which explains its faster performance. The laptop sure has come with various upgrades, however, the features have not been out of the box as yet.
It comes with Intel HD Graphics 515 card. This makes the graphics result slightly better than the last version of the laptop. The RAM has 8 GB of space, which is quite ample for the standard usage of a notebook. There are slight but many changes in the 12 inch MacBook, which overall makes the laptop a better version of its predecessors. It does not get too hot even with hours of work, which turns out to be quite a comfort for the users. The size of the laptop is smaller and slimmer. The speakers give a perfect and loud output. Especially, considering the size of the laptop, the speakers are much better than expected.
This version of MacBook is undoubtedly sleek and stylish. With its perfect slim and elegant design, it comes in four unique colors; space grey, silver, gold and rose gold. All the colors are quite cool and pleasant to look at which will give you a peaceful, calm and composed vibe. Also, these colors bring a classic touch to the notebook.
The keyboard of Apple 12 inch MacBook has a slim structure. The keys are not too out of the surface and have a rather reduced length. The reason behind it is to maintain the slim body of the laptop. The keys are quite light to press. The keyboard does not cover a lot of space. One plus point of the keys is that they do not make much noise when typed upon, which will make it easier for you to work in quiet environments. The travel amongst the keys has been reduced, which could take time for your hands to get used to, but that is not too major of a change. Also, the space between the keys is lessened to accommodate all of them in the small size.
Just like the keyboard, the trackpad has also been well fitted in the slim sized body by Apple. It is a large trackpad, exclusive of the two traditional buttons for left and right clicking. Clicking is made much easier just by pressing a little harder with your fingers on the trackpad. It might seem a fancy upgrade but if thought upon closely, it will save you quite some effort of constantly picking up your fingers for left and right clicking, which causes uneasiness in the fingers as well if practiced for a long period. This way, the trackpad has a large space for the users to do easy maneuvering of the cursor.
The display of 12 inch MacBook is impressive. It has Apple’s signature Retina display. The screen has a 2304x1440 resolution with 226 pixels per inch. The brightness of the notebook is quite accurate with an apt color representation. The output has a range of colors and backlight brightness levels make the screen one of the best ones Paklap.pk ever witnessed. Also, the design of the laptop goes perfectly well with the screen. The bezel around the screen has a perfect ratio. It is neither too thick nor too narrow that it seems invisible. The bezel is black in color that adds to the class and elegance of the overall look of the laptop.
The battery life is sufficient for an average user, though we cannot say that the MacBook 2016 has an extraordinarily long battery life. The Intel Skylake processor improves the processing and improves the battery life than the last year’s version of MacBook. Apple claims that the MacBook 2016 can go for up to 10 hours without having to charge the notebook. It is true that a usual working day can easily pass by charging the laptop to full, one time only. Keeping in mind, the slim and small size of the laptop, the battery works amazingly well and long.
The 12-inch MacBook 2016 comes in two models; one being slightly more expensive than the other. The basic version has 1.1 GHz dual-core Intel Core m3 processor and is configurable to 1.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core m7 processor. The other one has 1.2 GHz dual-core Intel Core m5 processor with configuration up to 1.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core m7 processor. The memory of both the models is the same consisting of 8GB of 1866 MHz LPDDR3. For fast working networks, both the versions have Wi-Fi of 802.11 ac. The slim laptop weighs about 0.92 kgs or 2. 03 pounds.
Any product Apple has launched till date has never been considered mediocre, same goes for the 12 inch MacBook 2016. The processing, the display, the battery life all have been made sure to work perfectly. However, the question that arises here is how different this version of MacBook is from the last one. The upgrades in this model sure do make the laptop more efficient than its predecessors, but there have not been anything introduced that is completely out of the box. That being said, Apple products have almost never dissatisfied the users with any of their products and the MacBook 2016 is no different. If you were satisfied with the version of 2015, there is no chance that you are not going to be satisfied with this MacBook, as it is definitely better.
