✕Expensive
It is, perhaps, a sign of the times that the slimmest and lightest laptop that Apple has ever produced has been almost completely overshadowed by the launch of the endlessly hyped Apple Watch. However, Apple's Mac computers -- and particularly its MacBook laptops -- have sold consistently well in recent years, regularly posting double-digit increases in sales at a time when the wider PC market seems to be in steady decline.

Apple's new MacBook is certainly a significant release, providing a major redesign for a long-neglected member of the Mac lineup. It's a wonderful piece of design, but it also turns Apple's existing laptop range on its head. It relegates the former flagship MacBook Air to the role of entry-level laptop, and establishes a new category of premium ultraportable devices that Apple, with typical modesty, describes as 'the future of the notebook'.
Core values
Prices for the new MacBook start at £1,049 (inc VAT; £874.17 ex. VAT), which buys you a dual-core 1.1GHz-2.4GHz Intel Core M-5Y31 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of solid-state storage. For £1,299 (inc. VAT; £1,082.50 ex. VAT) you can step up to 1.2GHz-2.6GHz Core M-5Y51 and 512GB storage, while £1,419 (inc. VAT, £1,182.50 ex. VAT) secures a further speed bump up to the 1.3GHz-2.9GHz Core M-5Y71. The new MacBook is only available with a 12-inch Retina display with a native resolution of 2,304 by 1,440 pixels, and there's no option to upgrade the memory beyond 8GB.

That's expensive, but still in the same price range as ultraportable rivals such as Lenovo's Yoga 3 Pro (which, incidentally, beat Apple to the punch with a slimline Core M laptop by several months). But, as always with Apple, those numbers only tell half the story, and you need to spend some hands-on time with the new MacBook in order to appreciate its strengths and weaknesses.

Lighter than Air

The extent of the redesign that new MacBook has received is illustrated by the fact that this 12-inch laptop manages to be both slimmer and lighter than the 11-inch version of the aging MacBook Air that's still on sale. The 12-inch MacBook measures just 3.5-13.1mm (0.14-0.52in.) thick and weighs 0.92kg (2.03lbs), compared to 3-17mm (0.11-0.68in.) and 1.08kg (2.38lbs) for the 11-inch MacBook Air. The MacBook Air also has a chunky metal border around the screen, which results in a total width of 300mm (11.8in.) for the screen panel, whereas the edge-to-edge glass panel of the new MacBook reduces the width of the laptop by almost 20mm to just 280.5mm (11.04in.).
