Apple 12-inch MacBook Colours

Apple have announced updates to the popular 12-inch MacBook range, with processors that give better performance and graphics, longer battery life and a new colour finish – Rose Gold. The 12-inch MacBook is the thinnest and lightest Mac available, and is now more powerful than ever. What’s more is that these new models are available now from the Apple.com/au online store, starting at A$1,999.

“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. “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.”

The 12-inch MacBook is Apple’s revolutionary new Mac notebook computer, released for the first time only just last year. This model features a 12-inch Retina Display, Force Touch trackpad (similar to 3D Touch on the new iPhone), a newly designed full-sized keyboard – all in a design that is only 920g and 13.1mm thin.
