Why you should reconsider your purchase on Apples new MacBook

We all know how intimidating it is when Apple releases a new product, whether it is a new iPhone or a new Mac. The new MacBook is of course very elegant and it looks very pretty with its 12 inch screen instead of the standard 13 inch that is adapted by both the Macbook Air and Pro. Apple claims that the new MacBook is a the start of a whole new Ultrabook generation.

Here are 3 reasons why I feel that the new MacBook is a turn off for consumers.

Reason 3

The biggest turn on with the product is that it is “revolutionary”, but has Apple gone a step back with only one USB-C input? With only one input, expensive Apple dongles might be needed for adequate amount of connection. Not only the price is the matter, but having dongles also compromises the total portability of the notebook.

Reason 2

Both the Macbook Air and the Macbook Pro are powered by dual core Intel Core i5/i7, but the new Macbook is powered by an Intel M CPU that is fanless, but we all know how it goes in terms of performance. Fanless are almost always slower than their fan cooled CPU counterpart, but at least fanless design offer better battery life? With 8GB RAM and 256 GB Flash storage, the CPU is no doubt the weakest part of the system

Reason 1

Why buy the Macbook when Apple has a much cheaper and better alternative? Apple own Macbook Air is cheaper, has larger screen, more powerful processors and better graphics. But its port are also complete with two USB 3 and one Thunderbolt port.
