Keys supported by the traditional scissor mechanism tend to need to be struck in the centre to register a keystroke, whereas the butterfly mechanism’s wider structure makes the keys more responsive, according to Apple. KeyboardĪpple redesigned the MacBook keyboard by shaving the key margins, making them 17 per cent larger than the ones used on previous keyboards. The individually-backlit keys are supported with a new Apple-designed butterfly mechanism, designed to stabilise each key for greater control while typing. The display performed beautifully in low-light conditions, but was more difficult to make out in bright direct sunlight. The pixels have been redesigned to allow more light to pass through, resulting in more vivid brightness and tone interpretation - particularly when watching videos. The 12-inch Retina display sports 3 million pixels and 2304 x 1440 resolution, offering depth of colour and shade and crisp text. It remains to be seen whether the iPhone eventually follows suit, but for now the MacBook remains a bold compromise. USB-C is becoming more widely taken up, with the HTC 10, LG G5 and Huawei P9 Android handsets all ditching their micro USB ports in favour of the change. This was a controversial decision last year and remains one today: in order to connect anything or even charge your phone, you’ll need to buy a separately-sold adaptor. If you’re already familiar with the 2015 MacBook, you’ll already know there are no USB, Gigabit Ethernet or Display ports to be found on this laptop - only one USB-C port on the upper-left edge and a headphone jack on the far right.
