There's an all-new keyboard, which spans the full width of the new MacBook. The keyboard features a new "butterfly mechanism" for a better, "much more precise" typing experience.

The keyboard also has individual LED lighting for each key. It's 40% thinner but tries making up for it with keys that are 17% wider.

The trackpad has been redesigned to measure not only finger locations and tap actions, but also force. It can sense the strength of each tap. The harder you push, the different the functionality!

Its new USB-C port is reversible, and it handles power, video, and data transport. The only other port on this gorgeous machine is the headphone jack on the other side.

There's a 12-inch Retina display that runs at 2,304 x 1,440 resolution. It is the thinnest display ever built into a Mac, and that it consumes 30% less energy.
