Gah, just what I need, another adapter. I guess in this day and age pretty much everything is in the cloud but still, I like having at least one USB port. A little surprised they kept the mic jack
My phone, Sony camera, battery bank, and now laptop are all usb-c. I welcome this with open arms.
Genuine question: Why would someone choose the new MacBook Air over the 12" Macbook? I have the 12" (it's my everyday computer and I love it, not looking to switch) but wondering why choose one over the other, size of screen? Thanks.

The Air has more ports, Thunderbolt, a larger screen, a lower price, a faster CPU/GPU, a better battery and some modern touches.

The other day two MBPs were running out of battery during a meeting. We plugged one into the room charger and plugged the second one out of another USB-C port on the first one. I miss MagSafe, but USB-C is seriously cool.
Wait... you can charge a MBP with another MBP?
Summarizing a bit: * Starting price of $1,199 * 13" display with trimmed bezels * 2.75 lbs * Higher resolution screen ("Over 4M pixels") * HD front facing camera * No Touch Bar (Yay!) * No USB ports (Boo!) Assuming it doesn't have any odd dust or logic board issues cropping up in the next couple months, I can see myself getting one of these.
Also, how do we kniw they'll stay without releasing another one for another 5 years?
As a MacBook Air user for years, I'm glad I jumped ship a year ago.
So TouchID is good enough for laptop but they “just can’t” make a phone with it anymore huh? Rabble.
I never really understood fingerprint scanners on phones. Is it really more useful to you than e.g. a headphone jack?
We're inching ever so gradually toward idlewords's 2016 piece "Benjamin Button Reviews The New MacBook Pro".[1] [1] https://blog.pinboard.in/2016/10/benjamin_button_reviews_the...
Why is the 12 inch MacBook still in the line-up? The only benefit is that it offers an i7 processor at the top-end - beyond that, I can't see any benefit. Why not just unify the two lines?

What, the annoyance every time you need to plug in a USB stick or a mouse you down own? Even now, after two years of USB-C macbook, it's still incredible how annoying having to look for those damn dongles is. You do understand that you can have BOTH ports on the laptop right - see for example how Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon engineers manage to stuff usable ports on the same chasis size.
