It appears that the next MacBook Air will feature power charging via a USB Type-C port (the only other port on the laptop is a 3.5mm audio jack). http://9to5ma

- toothbrush 12y agoOmigod is anyone else freaked out that on the pictures the power button is where the ESC key should be? My boss has a habit of giving us Apple hardware on which i have a habit of installing Linux or whatever, but that keyboard would require some seriously ugly scripting to avoid reprogramming my muscle memory :/
- UrMomReadsHN 12y agoPower button definitely shouldn't be mixed into the keyboard with the other keys where its easy to hit on accident. On the other hand it probably doesn't do anything unless you hold it down.
- toothbrush 12y agoIf it's like the predecessors, it'll bring up the "Shutdown/Restart/Logout?" dialog on OS X, and fire the ACPI shutdown event on Linux. Of course in Linux this can be remapped (i use it to tell my laptop to suspend), but indeed, top-left is horribly stupid. Top-right i've never banged it by accident, though.
- lucaspiller 12y agoOn OS X (recent versions) you need to hold it down to do anything. A quick tap as described does nothing.
- UrMomReadsHN 12y agoI just got a Windows laptop where the power button doesn't do anything unless you hold it. Been throwing me off.
- pervycreeper 12y agoI wouldn't give any credence to anonymous hearsay. If those mockups end up looking like the real thing, I'll eat my iHat.
