APRIL 2015 MACBOOK REVIEW MAC
That means the Mac isn’t as powerful, but it is completely silent and has a much smaller footprint. The new MacBook is powered by a low power Intel Core M chip - a first for Macs - which helps it achieve a fanless design. My Mac is typically running a couple dozen apps at a time during the typical workday including multiple constant Twitter streams, 20+ Safari tabs, quick photo editing, frequent downloading and uploading, lots of messaging and email, and music or video playback … all at the same time.ĭuring my evaluation in an actual workday under typical conditions, I only noticed a performance issue when a particular Twitter app would demand more memory than usual - an issue experienced on every other Mac I’ve owned and tested. It’s not a machine optimized for performing power intensive tasks, but it can do a lot of low- to mid-level jobs well. The short answer to whether or not the new MacBook can actually be used for work is that it depends on what you plan to do, but for a lot of people the answer is probably yes.
The new 12-inch MacBook won’t beat the rest of the MacBook lineup in any benchmark tests, but it’s still a fast performer. The answer to whether or not the new MacBook can be used for work depends on two things: what tasks the MacBook is capable of performing, and how long the MacBook can perform those tasks on a single charge.
Early reviews of Apple’s MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) have framed it as an expensive prototype from the future - a notebook that will someday be the standard, but one most people aren’t ready for yet. Despite that classification, the new MacBook is extremely tempting if you’re in the market for a new computer: it’s more portable than even the MacBook Air, it’s the first Mac available in gold and space gray finishes, and it has a trackpad with a new feature called Force Touch.īut can you actually do work on the 12-inch MacBook? That’s the $1300 question everyone is asking.
