RAM speed has received a boost, too, up from 1600MHz to 1866MHz, which should make a small amount of difference to overall performance. 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.

There’s a great deal to love about it, but only if you can make peace with the compromises it forces upon you. It’s beautiful, brilliant and compact, but it’s also divisive, troublesome and a luxury. You need an adapter to use any normal USB cable and there’s no SD card slot for your camera’s photos.

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.
