I'm disappointed that this has only one port. I shouldn't have to choose between charging my laptop and using my USB port for something.
Having said that, battery power is my number 1 priority when buying a laptop. My 2013 Macbook Air is great in this regard, it charges to full in 40 minutes and lasts for a long ass time. If this new model has even better battery tech, I'm all for it.
- Yhippa 12y agoThat is odd. I wonder if we'll see something like USB Type-C octopus connectors protruding from there that might let you charge and connect other things?
- IkmoIkmo 12y agoBattery is about 3h worse than the MBA 13'. The port sucks but usually anything you want to plug in for longer periods of time are not a problem. i.e., a USB stick? Take out charger, plug in, transfer files, put charger back in. No problem. A mouse or keyboard or monitor? Well you're probably at home or work, so you buy a usb hub and stick it on your desk. Problem solved. It sucks as the new MB is supposed to be the lightest most portable Mac in the lineup, dedicated hubs don't fit that story. And it's another $50-150 depending on if you need 1 or 2, or a fancy slick one. Me I'm just gonna go with the refreshed 2015 MBA 13'. Better battery, 1 inch bigger screen, a lot cheaper with all the ports I need and hey, a better processor, too (1.6gh instead of 1.4 and HD 6000 instead of HD 5000 on the new 2015 version versus the older 2014 one).
