Just when you thought you were done with Macbook’s, along comes an option in Rose Gold.


Just about a year ago, Apple unveiled a much slimmer Macbook. Today, the company is giving them a performance boost with all new processors.

Here’s all the new specs according to Apple’s recent press release:

The updated MacBook features 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. New Intel HD Graphics 515 deliver up to 25 percent faster graphics performance, and faster PCIe-based flash storage makes everyday tasks feel snappier

But wait, there’s more! I’ll let Mat Smith of Engadget break it down for you:

On top of new processing muscle, there’s faster flash storage and improved battery life. Apple claims you’ll get up to 10 hours of web browsing, and up to 11 hours of movie playback with the new machines. However, if you were looking for more ports, you’re still going to have to look elsewhere — or splurge on a hub.

Prices start at $1,299 for 1.1GHz Core M-3 processor and 256 gigs of space, while a faster 1.2GHz Core M-5 Macbook with 512GB is priced at $1,599.

The all new MacBooks are available to order starting today, including colors in gold, silver, space gray and rose gold. To learn more, click here.
