The 12-inch display comes with a 16:10 aspect ration and 2304 x 1440 screen resolution. Other interesting features of the MacBook include a next-generation USB-C port which is “incredibly small, yet extremely versatile and even more user friendly.”
“Apple has reinvented the notebook with the new MacBook, and at just two pounds and 13.1 mm, it’s the thinnest and lightest Mac ever,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “Every component of the MacBook reveals a new innovation. From its fanless design, ultra-thin Retina display and full-size keyboard that’s 34 percent thinner, to its all-new Force Touch trackpad, versatile USB-C port and breakthrough terraced battery design, the new MacBook is the future of the notebook.”
