It also helps that Apple is claiming that it's managed to increase the battery life on this laptop to 10 hours of web browsing. I'm starting to see more cables and drives that directly work with USB-C without the need for an adapter, so that helps clear out a pocket in your bag if you can find them.
(And futurists take note, Apple's USB-C implementation doesn't support the full Thunderbolt spec you can get on some Windows laptops). The ecosystem of accessories and adapters is getting better (and safer), but you should budget a hundred bucks or so for adapters to go alongside the $1,299 (for the base model) you will spend on the laptop itself. One thing that isn't quite resolved: dealing with the single USB-C port. With this year's machine, I still fully expect to hit that wall, but I'm already starting to feel confident it won't happen nearly as often. I currently use last year's MacBook as a daily driver, and I find myself hitting the speed wall a couple times a week - usually because of too many tabs combined with some light photo editing. The new Skylake architecture might be coming to us in this "M class" processor instead of something more powerful, but I'm hopeful that the difference will be enough for me. If you're worried about speed, you should feel 25 percent better about buying oneįor a lot of people, that's actually enough to get over the purchasing decision hump. My hunch is that if you were worried that the last MacBook was too underpowered for you, the new MacBook will only assuage your concerns by, well, 25 percent or so. But benchmarks and just a couple minutes of use are one thing, while actual extended use is quite another.
