Apple MacBook has been updated with new colours, Intel Core M processor and larger battery

Yes, you can now buy a MacBook in rose gold.

Apple has just updated its MacBook with the latest sixth-generation dual-core Intel Core M processors up to 1.3 GHz, with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.1 GHz, and faster 1866 MHz memory. Plus, there is the new Intel HD Graphics 515 to “deliver up to 25 percent faster graphics performance” and faster PCIe-based flash storage, which Apple claims will launch apps faster. The battery the company claims will offer up to 10 hours of wireless web browsing and up to 11 hours of iTunes movie playback.

Now available in four aluminium finishes — gold, silver, space gray, and for the first time on a Mac, a rose gold — the MacBook will have a 12-inch Retina display, full-size keyboard, Force Touch trackpad and a USB-C port. The device will weigh just about 900 grams pounds and will be 13.1 mm thin.

“MacBook is the thinnest and lightest Mac we have ever made and it’s our vision for the future of the notebook,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing in a press note. “Customers are going to love this update to MacBook, with the latest processors, faster graphics, faster flash storage, longer battery life and a beautiful rose gold finish.”

Apple has also made 8GB of memory standard across all configurations of the 13-inch MacBook Air.

The MacBook comes with a 1.1 GHz dual-core Intel Core m3 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.2 GHz, 8GB of memory and 256GB of flash storage for Rs 1,06,900, and with a 1.2 GHz dual-core Intel Core m5 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.7 GHz, 8GB of memory and 512GB of flash storage for Rs 1,29,900. Configure-to-order options include a 1.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core m7 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.1 GHz.
