Despite the increase in power, the latest generation of Intel processors (called Skylake) are more efficient, and as a result Apple reckons you’ll get an extra hour of battery life.

You won’t be able to buy the 2015 MacBook direct from Apple any more, and if you’re buying from third-party retailers, make sure you’re getting the latest edition, or at least getting a nice discount on a 2015 model.

It has no normal USB ports, no normal video outputs. This slight, 12-inch laptop weighs just 920g and, like the original 2008 MacBook Air, removes almost all external connections. What is the new MacBook?Apple’s new MacBook is the laptop in its most basic, stripped-back form – I called it a laptop for the iPad generation when Apple first announced it.
