Tens of thousands of users of Tencent News (Hamish) are watching when Apple will upgrade the MacBook. This aluminum body notebook has a unique glowing Apple logo. You can see it at any coffee shop or college campus. To its shadow.
In fact, Apple's pace of upgrading the MacBook product line has lagged behind other vendors. Now that it is 2016, Apple is still selling a 13-inch non-retina screen MacBook Pro with a DVD drive. Its basic configuration has not been upgraded since its release in 2012.
Perhaps this MacBook Pro is just an exception, but it still shows that Apple's progress on the Mac platform is slowing down. The latest MacBook product is the 12-inch MacBook released last December. In the past few years, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro have not seen other changes except for stronger Intel chips, faster wireless networks, and higher memory. This year, Apple's "new" 12-inch MacBook just installed a stronger chip into the body last year.
In recent years, the configuration of notebooks in the market has been continuously replaced. Dell, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard and Samsung all have their own products equipped with the latest Intel Core processors, USB-C interfaces, OLED screens, PCIe interface solid-state drives and brand-new Graphics card. MacBook is getting farther and farther from these innovations.
MacBook Pro
The rumors that Apple will launch the new MacBook Pro in 2016 have been circulating for a long time. It is reported that this new product will replace function keys with OLED touch keys, which include fingerprint recognition sensors. In addition, the new AMD graphics card will also enter the configuration options. However, according to Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg reporter who has been tracking the matter for several months, the new MacBook Pro will arrive at the end of this year.
The MacBook Pro will be the first true upgrade of the product line since May 2015. The current version of the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro has been used for more than four years. In addition to the processor and some port adjustments, the MacBook Pro and the 2012 version you purchased today are basically the same product.
Therefore, if you recently plan to purchase a MacBook Pro, we recommend that you wait for a while. It is reported that the new products will not be released at the iPhone 7 conference that is scheduled to be held on September 7. Instead, a separate conference will be launched in October or November.
MacBook Air
The 13-inch MacBook Air may be the most popular Apple notebook. Its price is under 900 US dollars. It can run smoothly for several years, and the battery life is good, which dwarfs other notebooks.
Perhaps because the design is too classic, the latest version of the MacBook Air has basically the same appearance as when it was first released in 2008. The hardware design basically follows the 2010 standard.
In recent years, countless computer manufacturers have been competing to imitate the appearance of the MacBook Air. The latest Dell XPS 13 and HP Spectre series have finally made progress. They are lighter, thinner, and more importantly, than the MacBook Air. Their screen resolution is higher.
The 13-inch MacBook Air's screen resolution is only 1440x900 pixels, which is its biggest short board. Even the cheap Windows notebooks on the market today have long used 1920x1080 pixel screens. Some flagship models even use 4K screens (resolution is 2560x1440 pixels or 3840x2160 pixels). The 13-inch MacBook Air's screen is surrounded by a thick border, which is far behind the aesthetic needs of today's people. It is worth mentioning that Dell is constantly lowering the price of the XPS 13 without borders.
Yes, if Apple fans want a higher screen resolution, they can also choose MacBook Pro or 12-inch MacBook. However, the price of both products is much higher than that of the MacBook Air, and the price of the MacBook Pro is much higher.
MacBook
The MacBook series is named without the Pro or Air suffix, and is consistent with its minimalist product style. The latest 12-inch MacBook is only equipped with a USB-Type interface, it has only two configuration options, Intel Core m3 plus 256GB capacity and Core m3 plus 512GB capacity.
Although the user's choice is small, due to its small size and long battery life, the multi-touch touchpad is perfectly compatible with OS X, so it can meet most people's mobile computing needs. However, the 12-inch MacBook's keyboard has a short keystroke, and initial use may take some time to adapt.
As mentioned earlier, the latest MacBook has just been released this year, so now is a good time to buy, because the next product may have to wait 6 months or more.
how to choose?
Putting them all together, we can see that the 12-inch MacBook has just been released, and the 13-inch MacBook Pro may be the world's last notebook with a DVD drive, and the MacBook Air looks quite old. Therefore, we believe that the 12-inch MacBook is the best choice now. Although it has only one interface, it can also meet the daily needs through the USB-C converter. The most important thing is that it is equipped with a retina screen, although the MacBook starts at only 999 US dollars (about 6625 yuan), compared to its 1299 US dollars (about 8615 yuan) starting price is higher Quite a lot, but it is definitely worth the extra price.
