Introducing Apple The new MacBook 2015

With the new MacBook, we set out to do the impossible: engineer
a full‐size experience into the lightest and most compact Mac
notebook ever. That meant reimagining every element to make it
not only lighter and thinner but also better. The result is more
than just a new notebook. It’s the future of the notebook.

We believe that a comfortable, full‐size keyboard is essential for a great notebook experience. But to
fit one into the elegantly thin new MacBook, we had to completely rethink how a keyboard is
engineered and constructed. To create the new keyboard, we redesigned each key and its
underlying mechanism — not only making the whole keyboard much thinner, but also allowing for
more comfortable, precise, and responsive typing that just feels right.
A full‐sized keyboard.
In a fraction of the space.

The moment you open the new MacBook, its gorgeous 12-inch Retina display with edge‐to‐
edge glass brings everything into focus. Every photo leaps off the screen in rich, vibrant detail.
Over 3 million pixels render each letter with crystal clarity. And it all comes to light on the
thinnest, most energy‐efficient Retina display ever on a Mac, meticulously honed to deliver a
bold visual experience within an impossibly minimal design.

With the new MacBook comes a whole new way to experience a trackpad. The Force Touch
trackpad is engineered to deliver a responsive, uniform click no matter where you press the
surface. And underneath, force sensors detect how much pressure you’re applying and give
you new ways to interact with your Mac. You can now use a Force click to enable new
capabilities, like quickly looking up the definition of a word or previewing a file just by clicking
and continuing to press on the trackpad. You’ll also experience haptic feedback — a tactile
vibration from the trackpad that adds the sense of touch to what you see on the screen. These
advanced capabilities work in addition to all the intuitive Multi‐Touch gestures Mac users love.
You’ll be more in touch with your Mac than ever before. Without lifting a finger.

further with Force Touch.

The new MacBook is designed to fit effortlessly into our increasingly wireless world. Just about anything you
do with a notebook can now be done over the air, thanks to Apple software that takes full advantage of the
latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology. So no matter where you are, you can connect to the web,
transfer files, organize your photos, listen to music, and more — without being tied down.
Fully equipped for a wireless world.

The most efficient way to charge a notebook is by
connecting a charger to a port. And as long as we
were going to include a port for charging the new
MacBook, we wanted to make sure it was the most
advanced and versatile one available. The new
USB-C port puts just about everything you need in
a port all in one place. This amazing port provides
charging, speedy USB 3 data transfer, and video
output in a small, reversible design that’s one‐third
the size of the current USB port.

The new MacBook has been engineered from the ground up for silent, efficient performance.
It starts with a fifth‐generation Intel Core M processor that runs on just 5 watts of power,
made even more efficient by optimizations throughout OS X Yosemite. Together the
processor and OS X sip so little energy that the system generates very little heat, so no fan is
required to cool the computer. That means when your MacBook is working, you won’t hear a
thing. And the logic board on which the processor sits has been completely redesigned to
pack all the capability you expect in a Mac into as little space as possible.
Quietly astonishing.

We know people rely on Apple notebooks for all‐day battery life, regardless of how
compact they are. And with the slim new MacBook enclosure, all‐day battery life
simply would not be achievable using traditional rectangular batteries. So we
developed our own unique battery technology specifically designed to make use of
every last millimeter of available space. The result is a terraced, contoured battery
design that not only fits perfectly inside the incredibly slim MacBook, but also is
unlike anything seen before in a notebook.
All‐day battery life.

OS X is the operating system that
powers every Mac. Built on a rock‐solid
UNIX foundation, it’s engineered to take
full advantage of what the hardware is
capable of. It’s designed to be as easy to
use as it is beautiful to look at. It comes
with an amazing collection of apps you’ll
use — and love — every day. And it
enables your Mac and iOS devices to
work wonderfully together.
OS X

Every Mac comes with apps for creativity and apps for productivity. It also comes with a
collection of great apps for things you do every day, like sufing the web, sending mail and
messages, and organizing your calendar. It even comes with an app for finding new apps.
Your Mac is more than full-featured, it’s fully loaded.

Design Wireless OS X Tech Specs
We designed the new MacBook to be not only thinner and lighter, but more
functional and intuitive than ever before. To do that, we couldn’t just shave a
millimeter here, a gram there. So we started from scratch, reinventing each
essential element as part of a singular, deceptively simple design. It’s everything
there is to love about Mac. In its purest form ever.
Pure invention.

From the beginning, our goal was to design a full, uncompromising Mac experience. And a full‐size
keyboard is an essential part of that. In order to fit a full‐size keyboard in the incredibly thin MacBook, we
designed the keyboard from the ground up. Each component has been rethought specifically for the
new MacBook, from the underlying mechanism to the curvature of the surface of each key to the
distinctive new typeface. The result is a keyboard dramatically thinner than its predecessor. Now when
your finger strikes the key, it goes down and bounces back with a crisp, consistent motion that makes
typing with precision a breeze.
A keyboard reimagined
from A to Z.

Butterfly mechanism
Traditional keyboards use a scissor mechanism, which tends to wobble around the edges. This creates a
lack of precision when you strike anywhere except the center of the key. We needed to reduce key
wobbling for a keyboard this thin; otherwise, striking a key off‐center could result in the keycap hitting
bottom before a keystroke registers. So we designed an entirely new butterfly mechanism, which is
wider than the scissor mechanism and has a single assembly made from a stiffer material — allowing for a
more stable, responsive key that takes up less vertical space. This innovative design improves stability,
uniformity, and control — no matter where you press on the key.

The redesigned keys on the new MacBook feature a
larger surface area, a thinner construction, and a
deeper curvature, creating a more defined space for
your fingertip to naturally find and press the keys. These
refinements may be subtle, but the feel is distinct and
intuitive. Combined with the butterfly mechanism, this
new design allows for much greater control
when typing.

Precision backlighting
When we set out to design an incredibly thin keyboard, one of the first things we considered was how to backlight the keys in a way
that took up less space while delivering an even cleaner and more refined look and feel. To do that, we removed the row of LEDs
and the light guide panel that distributed light throughout the keyboard and instead placed an individual LED under each key.
These LEDs are calibrated for uniform brightness, so every key and character looks clear and sharp with minimal light around the
keycap. All while being engineered for as much energy efficiency as possible.

The 12‐inch Retina display on the new MacBook isn’t just picture
perfect — it’s also paper thin. In fact, at just 0.88 millimeter, it’s
the thinnest Retina display ever on a Mac.

To deliver the gorgeous Retina experience on the sleek
new MacBook, we had to innovate on every level, right
down to the pixel. So we redesigned the pixels to create
a larger aperture, allowing more light to pass through.
This enabled us to use LED backlighting that’s 30
percent more energy efficient than the Retina display on
any other Mac notebook, yet still achieve the same level
of vivid brightness.

The new Force Touch trackpad may look like other trackpads on the surface, but underneath
it’s unlike anything that’s existed before. Force sensors detect how much pressure you’re
applying, and the new Taptic Engine provides a click sensation when you press anywhere on
the surface. Now the click that once was a single, mechanical function is just the start of
what you can do with Force Touch. The sensory capabilities of the Force Touch trackpad
allow you to tell your MacBook what you want it to do based on subtle differences in the
amount of pressure you apply. This makes it possible to perform a variety of different actions
in different apps, all on the same surface. And it can respond with haptic feedback you can
actually feel, making your MacBook more usable and personal than ever before.

Press a little deeper, do a lot more.

Taptic Engine
Traditional trackpads use a “diving board” mechanism, which
requires room underneath for the downward motion of a
click and makes it harder to click the part of the surface
closest to the keyboard. With the Force Touch trackpad,
force sensors detect your click anywhere on the surface and
move the trackpad laterally toward you, although the feel is
the same familiar downward motion you’re accustomed to
in a trackpad. The Taptic Engine also provides haptic
feedback, so instead of just seeing what’s happening on the
screen, you can feel it, too. The trackpad sends a tangible
response to your fingertip when you perform certain tasks,
like aligning annotations on a PDF.

Force Touch
In addition to the intuitive Multi‐Touch gestures you may be familiar with — like scrolling, swiping,
pinching, and rotating — Force Touch brings a new dimension to the Mac experience. The sensitivity is
customizable, allowing you to adjust how much pressure is needed to register a click. And the trackpad
can even tell whether you’re clicking with your thumb or another finger and automatically adjusts the
sensitivity level.

Each component inside the new MacBook has been meticulously designed to get the most out of an
incredibly thin and light enclosure. We started with an amazingly efficient processor, coupled with fast
Intel HD Graphics 5300, and optimized OS X to draw on the processor using as little power as possible.
Because no fan is needed to cool the new MacBook, it runs silently and without any moving parts, and it
has more room for battery cells to provide all‐day performance.
We squeezed the most into it.

Processor
Inside the new MacBook you’ll find the fifth‐generation
Intel Core M “Broadwell” processor — the first chip
designed with 14‐nanometer process technology. This
means that the chip is packed with more transistors
than the previous generation for higher density and
more efficient performance. The Core M processor is
the perfect fit for the new MacBook, combining energy
efficiency with the performance needed to handle
everyday tasks.

GENERATION ARCHITECTURE

Fanless architecture
The new MacBook is the first Mac notebook ever without a fan. Since the Intel
Core M chip draws only 5 watts of power and therefore generates less heat, no
fan or heat pipe is required. Instead, the logic board is seated on top of an
anisotropic graphite sheet, which helps disperse any heat that is generated out to
the sides, all while your Mac stays virtually silent. The new MacBook is made even
more efficient by OS X features like Timer Coalescing, App Nap, and Safari Power
Saver, which ensure that every task is performed using just the right amount of
power. No more, no less.
Logic board
With the new MacBook, we were able to take what we learned from making thin
yet powerful devices like iPhone and iPad and push that knowledge even further.
We carefully arranged the processor, flash storage, and memory on the smallest
and highest‐density logic board ever in a Mac. In fact, it’s 67 percent smaller than
the logic board in the 11‐inch MacBook Air.
Storage and memory
Even with its miniaturized internal components, the new MacBook has an
impressive capacity to store the files and run the applications you need every day.
MacBook features 8GB of fast, power‐efficient 1600MHz LPDDR3 onboard
memory. Combine that with 256GB or 512GB of flash storage2 and you get an
amazingly thin and light notebook with snappy performance.

To achieve all‐day battery life, we needed to use every millimeter of space inside the slim MacBook
enclosure. Traditional rectangular batteries leave unused space when placed in a curved enclosure,
so we created a new type of battery technology that allowed for an innovative terraced battery cell,
custom shaped to fit the specific contours of the enclosure. The result is 35 percent more battery
cell capacity than would have been possible before. So all the available space in the enclosure is
used, and you have all the battery life you need to get you through the day.
Innovation on every level.

The battery cells in the new MacBook are not only
designed with enormous attention to detail, but
are also assembled with extreme precision and
care. High‐speed cameras first take detailed
photos of both the casing and the battery. We use
those photos to account for microscopic
variations in each enclosure, and carefully place
the batteries so that not a single millimeter of
space is wasted.

To create a notebook as thin and light as the new MacBook, we had to strive for efficiency in every detail, right
down to how it connects to peripherals and power. So we contributed to a new universal connectivity
standard that combines the essential functions you need every day in one dynamic port. The amazing USB‐C
port offers charging, quick USB 3 data transfer for connecting to external devices and peripherals, and video
output that supports HDMI, VGA, and DisplayPort connections. All in a small, reversible design that’s one‐third
the size of the current USB port.

Maximum efficiency.
Minimal environmental impact.
The world’s most energy‐efficient notebook.
Each aspect of the new MacBook — from the Retina display to the terraced
battery to the advanced technologies of OS X — has been optimized to be
as energy efficient as possible, with a typical energy consumption of
10.10 kWh per year. It also exceeds the low power requirements set by the
EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR 6.1 qualification. And because the battery in the
new MacBook requires less frequent charging, it leaves a smaller carbon
footprint from day‐to‐day use.
Designed with the environment in mind.
We designed the new MacBook to be free of many harmful toxins, including
beryllium, BFRs, and PVC. It’s also made from highly recyclable materials
such as aluminum and glass. The new MacBook has earned the highest
rating of Gold from EPEAT, which evaluates the environmental impact of a
product based on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses, and how
it’s designed and manufactured.

It’s what makes a
Mac a Mac.

OS X is built to bring out the best in your Mac, so you get a fully integrated system in which everything
works together seamlessly. It works with the processor in your Mac to deliver the best possible
performance. It works with the super‐responsive trackpad in Mac notebooks so Multi-Touch gestures
feel natural to use. OS X works with your Mac hardware to keep the entire system up to date while it
sleeps.1 Advanced power‐saving technologies help extend battery life. And OS X is designed for the
gorgeous Mac displays, including high-resolution Retina displays, so fonts look crisp and graphics
are vivid.
Software and hardware
made for each other.

With OS X Yosemite and iOS 8, your devices work together in even smarter ways. Now you can make and
receive iPhone calls on your Mac, even if your iPhone is in another room. Send and receive both
iMessage and SMS text messages on your Mac. Start an email, document, or browsing session on one
device and instantly pick it up on another. And turn on the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone right from
your Mac so you can get online in an instant.
Mac and iOS are connected
like never before.

From the desktop you see when you start up your Mac to the applications you use every day, everything
is designed to be easy and intuitive. On a Mac, it’s easy to find, share, and do just about everything. You
can control your Mac with simple, intuitive gestures. The Dock lets you launch your favorite apps with a
click. Launchpad gives you quick access to your full library of apps. The Finder lets you browse and
organize your files on your Mac and in iCloud with ease. Spotlight search makes locating documents,
launching apps, and looking up information effortless.3 You can even have your apps and the operating
system software update automatically. In fact, a Mac does so many things automatically, sometimes you
don’t have to do anything at all.

Using Multi‐Touch gestures makes everything you do on your Mac easy, intuitive, and fun. And with the
Force Touch trackpad on the new MacBook and 13‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can now
unlock even more ways to interact with your Mac — right from your fingertips.
Control your Mac with
just a click, swipe, or press.
Multi-Touch, Mac style.
We believe the best way to bring Multi-Touch gestures to a computer is on the horizontal surface of a
trackpad. So navigating your Mac using your fingers to tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe feels perfectly natural. And
because Apple makes both the hardware and software, Multi-Touch gestures are remarkably precise. When
you scroll down, your document scrolls down. When you scroll up, your web page scrolls up. When you swipe
left, your photos move left.

Go way beyond a click with Force Touch.
The Force Touch trackpad on the new MacBook and 13‐inch MacBook Pro with Retina display adds a whole
new dimension to interacting with your Mac. With Force Touch, the trackpad now detects variations in
downward pressure and reacts accordingly. When you add a little more pressure to a click — a gesture called a
Force click — you can reveal the definition of a word or look it up on Wikipedia. When you Force click an
address, a map will pop up. And when you Force click a date, you can quickly add a new event in Calendar. You
can also use your trackpad as an accelerator to fast‐forward through a QuickTime movie at varying speeds
based on how hard you press. In addition, the Force Touch trackpad responds with haptic feedback when you
do certain things, like aligning annotations on a PDF, which allows you not just to see what’s happening on
screen, but to feel it.

Making powerful things simple requires some seriously advanced technologies. OS X is loaded with them. It’s
built on a rock‐solid, time‐tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability and industry‐leading
support for Internet standards. OS X takes full advantage of the multicore Intel processors and fast flash
storage to handle any task. And the incredible graphics capabilities in OS X supply applications like
Final Cut Pro with impressive video editing power.
Built for power. From the ground up.
Advanced features for power users.
As a desktop operating system, OS X offers powerful ways to get work done as efficiently as possible. For
example, you can organize, view, and find files in your system any way you want. With Finder Tabs, you can
consolidate multiple Finder windows into a single window. And you can label your files with tags so you can
easily organize files by project, without having to move them into a folder. If you like to work with multiple
applications at the same time, Mission Control gives you a bird’s‐eye view of everything that’s running on your
system. And if you want to use a second display with your Mac, just plug it in — no configuration required. If
you have an Apple TV, you can even use your HDTV as a fully functional second display over
your wireless network.

With every new Mac, you get a collection of six powerful productivity and creativity apps: Pages, Keynote,
Numbers, iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. And you get more great apps for the things you do every day: surf
the web, make FaceTime video calls, send messages, get driving directions, manage your contacts, send email,
and more. If you already use an iPhone or iPad, many apps will feel instantly familiar. And because they’re built
by Apple just for OS X, they’re fully integrated into the operating system and with each other. So with just a
few clicks, you can do things like view a map of an address from a contact card, set up a calendar appointment
from an email, or share a photo without switching apps.
Because they’re native apps — not web apps in a browser — they also take full advantage of the power of
your Mac to deliver the fastest possible performance. In addition, whenever there’s an update, you’ll get it
automatically. And with the Mac App Store built in, it’s easy to find more great apps.
Amazing apps for everyday things.

Thanks to built‐in support for iCloud, whatever you do in apps like iTunes, Mail, Contacts, and Calendar on
your Mac happens on your other devices, too.4 So, for example, a contact or a calendar event you add on your
iPhone also appears on your Mac. You can send driving directions from your Mac to your iPhone. Add a
meeting to your calendar on your Mac and receive an alert on your iPad. Buy a song in iTunes on your Mac and
it can automatically download to your iPhone. Even start a Messages conversation on your iPhone and finish it
on your Mac. And iCloud Drive lets you access all your documents on your Mac and iOS devices. So your files
will go wherever you do.
iCloud. Everything you love,
everywhere you go.

Every Mac is designed with advanced technologies that work together to constantly scrutinize, encrypt,
update — and ultimately keep your Mac safer. For starters, OS X includes a host of features designed to
protect your Mac and the information on it. Gatekeeper makes it safer to download and install apps. FileVault
safeguards data using powerful encryption. Sandboxing protects your system by isolating apps from each other,
as well as from your system and your data. Find My Mac helps you locate your missing Mac on a map, set a
passcode remotely, and more. Customizable privacy settings keep your personal information under
your control.
The best way to keep your Mac up to date with the latest security features? Just install software updates —
the Mac App Store notifies you when you have an update. And because OS X Yosemite is available as a free
upgrade, it’s easier than ever to keep your Mac safe with the latest security features and enhancements.
Security was the first thought.
Not an afterthought.

The versatility and power of OS X help a Mac fit in just about anywhere — including Windows networks. Want
to transfer your files, photos, and other data from a Windows PC? OS X lets you do that easily with Migration
Assistant. If you want to run Windows on your Mac, you can do that with Boot Camp.5 OS X has built‐in
support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server, so you can use your Mac at home and at work and
keep all your messages, meetings, and contacts in sync. And, of course, you can work with popular file types
such as JPG, MP3, and PDF, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.
Compatible with Windows.

OS X comes standard with a wide range of assistive technologies that help people with disabilities experience
what the Mac has to offer, including many features you won’t find in other operating systems — at any price.
For example, the built‐in VoiceOver screen reader, available in over 30 languages, makes it possible for those
who are blind or have low vision to control their computers using key commands or gestures on a Multi-Touch
trackpad. Switch Control makes it easier to navigate menus and operate basic controls such as volume,
brightness, eject, and media playback. OS X also offers out‐of‐the‐box support for more than 40 braille displays
(including Bluetooth displays) and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic full‐screen magnification,
playback of closed captions, and a scalable screen.
