The New Macbook
Discussion
One thing to be aware of about the 12" MacBook is that with its ultra short key movement, the keyboard is quite vulnerable to getting gummed up.
I spilled some beer on mine a couple of months back and it hasn't really been the same since. Mostly it still works perfectly well, but some keys are still a bit sticky, and when the weather is humid they feel very dead.

The force touch pad on my Macbook Pro hasn't been the same since I spilt some tabasco sauce on it, i suppose the edges have a tiny gap? In any case tech like this is a lot more fragile than we think.
After my previous comments about the rMB I've now decided to sell it after using it a few times; I really like it but I'm so used to the MBA keyboard and find that I use my iPad more and more that I'm better keeping the Air and connecting up to my external monitor.
If there is anybody interested in my retina MB (Space grey) PM me.

Wow, how cool - my cable stopped working properly the other day; it only charges properly if you plug it in one way up.Craikeybaby said:

Quelle surprise - Apple in dodgy power cable shocker....I'll be looking to replace my 2011 Macbook Air later this year and am seriously considering something other than Apple, especially as I look at the tatty, frayed power cable hanging from the machine - the second supply this laptop has had...so keeping up with my previous Macbook Pro.
Have loved my Mac laptops since I bought a G4 when they came out. But every single one has been plagued with piss poor power supply design.

If anyone is looking to swap their 1.2ghz Macbook and go for a 15" mid 2015 macbook pro (£2249 6 months ago), I'm looking to downgrade for portability, obviously a bit of cash my way but pm if anyone fancies it!
What's the spec and how much you looking for?I've been using the new MacBook for a month now (having come from an 11" MBA), and I really like it. The screen was my main reason for upgrading, and at first I wasn't sure if it was worth compromising on the CPU but I only really notice it with Excel which takes a second longer to open (so not a major issue). It has taken me a while to get used to the keyboard but I actually quite like it now.
It will be interesting to see what they do with the MacBook (if anything) at the next Apple event which is rumoured to take place either next week or the week after.
