• All-day battery life

  With the slim MacBook enclosure, all-day battery life simply would not be achievable using traditional rectangular batteries. So Apple developed its own battery technology specifically designed to make use of every last millimeter of available space. The result is a terraced, contoured battery design that not only fits perfectly inside the incredibly slim MacBook, but also is unlike anything seen before in a notebook. And now, thanks to more efficient processors and improved battery chemistry, battery life has been extended by an hour.

• Quietly astonishing

  MacBook has been engineered from the ground up for silent, efficient performance. It includes an Intel Core M processor that runs on just 5 watts of power, made even more efficient by optimizations throughout OS X. Together the processor and OS X sip so little energy that the system generates very little heat, so no fan is required to cool the computer. That means when your MacBook is working, you won't hear a thing. And the logic board on which the processor sits has been painstakingly engineered to pack all the capability you expect in a Mac into as little space as possible.

• 3 million pixels, 0.88 millimeter - razor sharp

  The 12-inch Retina display on the MacBook isn't just picture perfect - it's also paper thin. A specially developed automated manufacturing process forms the impossibly thin edge-to-edge glass that's only 0.5 millimeter thick. And the space between display components has been reduced for a tighter, more integrated design. To deliver the gorgeous Retina experience, Apple's engineers had to innovate on every level, right down to the pixel. So they redesigned the pixels to create a larger aperture, allowing more light to pass through.

• Optimized for energy efficiency

  Each aspect of your MacBook - from the Retina display to the terraced battery to the advanced technologies of OS X - has been optimized to be as energy efficient as possible. It also exceeds the low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR 6.1 qualification. And because the MacBook battery requires less frequent charging, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint from day-to-day use.

• USB-C - singularly versatile

  The USB-C port puts just about everything you need in a port all in one place. This amazing port provides charging, speedy USB 3 data transfer, and video output in a reversible design that's one-third the size of a USB 3 port, giving you the flexibility to easily connect your favorite devices.

• Force Touch trackpad

  The Force Touch trackpad may look like other trackpads on the surface, but underneath it's unlike anything that's existed before. Force sensors detect how much pressure you're applying, and the Taptic Engine provides a click sensation when you press anywhere on the surface. Now the click that once was a single, mechanical function is just the start of what you can do with Force Touch. The sensory capabilities of the Force Touch trackpad allow you to tell your MacBook what you want it to do based on subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply. This makes it possible to perform a variety of different actions in different apps, all on the same surface. And it can respond with haptic feedback you can actually feel, making your MacBook more usable and personal than ever before.
