After I load the title I realize it’s the perfect game for Apple’s latest notebook. I start with Prison Architect which, as the name implies, is about building a prison. So I occupy it the way any geek would: video games. That should mean family togetherness, and it does – but my grandmother is in her late 80s, and not as spry as she used to be. As an editor and writer covering computers, I really can’t lock myself down to just one OS. Looking for a restaurant? Just type in the search box, and from there open the result in Safari, or get directions in Maps, which can then be beamed to an iOS device.

Windows 10, which I’ve used since the first technical preview, is shaping up to be a solid operating system, but Apple has built something special with OS X Yosemite.

Click a few buttons, enter a code from the Mac on an iPhone, and you’re ready to go. It wouldn’t be right to say there’s nothing to it, but it’s close. So is sharing browser sessions, bookmarks and even passwords between the MacBook and my iPhone. That’s something not easily accomplished on a Windows machine. After wrapping up the day’s family festivities, I’ve spent a good part of an hour texting my girlfriend, as my phone lies on the other side of the room, charging. Especially right now, when I’m far away from home. OS X is great, if you have an iPhone (May 9, 8:45 p.m.) It doesn’t seem to matter how nice the new MacBook is people like my mom, who has a four-year-old Dell that works without issue, just don’t care.

My mother’s brief encounter with the new MacBook encapsulates the challenges facing Apple, and the PC industry has a whole, as neatly as any single moment can. She was enchanted for no more than half a minute. The color intrigued her while she loves her iPad and iPhone, she doesn’t keep up on the latest and greatest, and didn’t know gold Apple products were “a thing.” Past that, she loved how small it was.īut then she placed it down in the kitchen, and conversation turned back to a local bridge, which is apparently about to fall down. I took breakfast as an opportunity to show off the MacBook. My mother is an Apple devotee, ever since I bought her an iPad Mini for Christmas.

Not everyone is impressed (May 9, 11:16 a.m.) I’m curious how accurate that will prove. It also claims I have six and a half hours left. I haven’t used the notebook more than a couple hours since this morning, but the gauge says I’m at 60 percent. An Apple rep described the MacBook’s design goal to me as “ultimate portability.” Right now, I’d say it hits that mark. That means I can push the system further back, which means my arms are at a more natural position, which means I don’t have to contort myself to use the keyboard. It fits on the tray with enough room left over to recline the display at the angle I’d normally choose. I’m sitting in economy, so space is limited, but Apple’s latest feels right at home. Speaking of flying, that’s where the size of the MacBook really becomes an advantage. A super-svelte slate with a screen this size just might fly. In reality its 12-inch display is somewhat larger, but holding the notebook makes those crazy iPad Pro rumors seem a little more sane. Viewed alone, it seems no larger than an iPad. I mean it’s small, in every dimension, by every measurement.

I don’t just mean thin, though as mentioned, it’s certainly that. “Wow,” she exclaims, “I didn’t know they made those in gold!” Size matters (May 8, 5:36 p.m.) The youngest stewardess breezes by, stops, take a step back. My self-satisfaction is justified an hour later, on the way to Los Angeles International Airport, when we ascend above 10,000 feet and I pop out the MacBook. The MacBook is almost too beautiful to use. There’s exactly one visible seam –- the bottom panel – and only two small ports to break up the system’s razor-sharp lines. That’s not just because it’s insanely thin, but because its thinness bestows a unity of design found nowhere else. From the moment it comes out of the box it demands the same reverence given a museum piece. But as time has passed the Air’s influence has deflated it’s been downgraded from icon to door buster for buyers who want a Mac but don’t have much to spend.Ī new notebook worthy of Apple’s design reputation was long overdue, and the new MacBook is indisputably that system. Overnight, everyone realized that whether or not a notebook fits into a manila envelope is actually quite important, paving the way for Intel’s Ultrabook initiative and today’s selection of super-svelte systems. But I do have one advantage.Īpple’s Air is arguably the original computer-as-fashion-accessory. There’s even a smartwatch dangling from her wrist, a Pebble, no less, proving she was into it before it was cool. She gives off an aura of importance, direction and connectedness.
