The revamped 12-inch Apple MacBook lineup is now official and is all set to hit offline stores in India soon. The brand has largely stuck to the same impossibly-thin all-metal design as the previous generation with a number of internal enhancements.
The most noticeable change in the new Apple MacBook is the addition of a rose gold color, a first for the series. Under the hood, the company claims it’s up to 25% faster than before in terms of graphics performance thanks to an Intel HD Graphics 515 GPU.
Speed improvements are the main headline here, from faster PCIe-based SSD storage to the latest 6th-gen dual-core Intel Core M processors. Apple has also managed to squeeze in 1 additional hour of battery life through its new and improved battery technology, bringing the total number to 10 hours.
