OK, this change sounds pretty minor, but the hinge-less design enables the trackpad to have a new Force Click gesture. But on the new MacBook, there’s no hinge, so no matter where you click, it feels the same. The trackpad on existing Apple laptops hinges at the top, so a physical click at the top of the trackpad feels different than a click at the bottom. The MacBook’s trackpad has some cool advancements too.
(And who knows, maybe Apple will bring back the light-up logo in a future iteration.) But the new MacBook is still capable of turning heads since it’s the first Apple laptop available in gold-you know, to match the gold-toned iPad and iPhone. Speaking of LEDs, the Apple logo on the MacBook doesn’t light up. The keyboard is backlit, but each key gets its own LED light, so they’ll all have the same brightness level. The keys on this new MacBook are slightly larger than on my 13-inch MacBook Air, and designed for easier, faster typing.īut the new MacBook’s keys feel the same no matter where your fingers strike them. It’s not a necessary feature, and you may very well prefer it turned off, but it’s there if you want it.A small laptop doesn’t mean a cramped keyboard.
This is also the first “basic” iPad to support True Tone, Apple’s system for adjusting the screen’s color temperature based on the ambient light in your surroundings. Thankfully, Apple added an antireflective coating, something that previous iPad screens have been missing. As on previous iPads, the screen on this version has an oleophobic coating that resists fingerprints and makes wiping off skin oil and other grime easier, and the tablet is light enough for an adult to hold comfortably in one hand.
Apple’s iPad Pro and iPad Air tablets have fancy borderless screens and face-scanning cameras, but the 9th-generation iPad looks like pretty much any other iPad released in the past seven years, as it offers a sharp, 10.2-inch touchscreen with relatively slim borders on the sides and relatively thick ones above and below, plus Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint scanner embedded below the screen.
