Apple Watch is not the only product that performs 10 years this month. Ten years ago, Apple released a 12-inch MacBook Retina MacBook, the most futuristic and incorrectly understood company of the company.
In 2015, this MacBook was the first USB-C Apple product. It had one port for data and exercise on the left, as well as a headphone jack on the right. The cheaper MacBook Air had two USB 3 ports, Thunderbolt, Magsafe, SD card slot and headphone jack.
the choice of input/output is still considered to be radical today, but in fact it is no different from the iPad. Apple sold two adapters: one for converting USB-C into USB-A, and the other to turn one USB-C port into HDMI, USB-A for data and USB-C for charging.
Compared to the MacBook Air, the 12-inch MacBook had a resettlement of the retina display, twice as much as the base storage from 128 GB to 256 GB and double the basic RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB, and in a thinner and more light design without a fan. The base model MacBook Air Configurations probably also exceeds updated models. It was a full -scale Mac, which was competing with the iPad in portable. Ten years later, an iPad with a keyboard and tracking case is even larger and larger than a 12-inch MacBook. I remember how I averaged on average in five hours of continuous use between charges. Apple Silicon decides both for the performance and for the service life of the battery today.
But the real fatal drawback of the 12-inch MacBook fell onto the keyboard. The experience of typing the text was as radically different, as well as the choice of input/output, but it was a physical keyboard that worked as long as it worked, of course. My wife used it for the Internet and email, so she had a lot of energy. She could just throw him into her purse and barely notice the weight. I was hoping for the return of the form factor with the introduction of M-series processors, but Apple had different plans.

The Butterfly keyboard switch has replaced the traditional design of Apple scissors. Years of review, repair and amazingly unreliable keyboards on each Apple laptop followed. Just as the battery life and performance with Apple Silicon, the keyboard situation is a solution. Apple stopped it after several processor reviews in 2019. Perhaps part of the magic of his ultra-thin design was lost if the shape of the wedge was replaced by an uniform slab of aluminum, such as the MacBook Air. Also the same equipment from the previous decade. But, wow, it was an amazing design that remains invincible in a decade.
