MacBook 10,1 (12-Inch, Mid 2017) – Full Information, Specs

The MacBook 10,1 (12-inch, Mid 2017) was introduced on June 5, 2017. At the starting price of $1299, the MacBook offers a 1.2GHz Kaby Lake Core m3 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.0GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and the Intel HD Graphics 615 processor. The 2017 model features a more compact design and a high-resolution Retina display, being the only MacBook to offer a choice of four iPhone-like finishes of Space Grey, Gold, Rose Gold and Silver. The combination of faster hardware and the laptop’s refreshed design and low weight sets it further aside from its predecessors.

MacBook (12-Inch, Mid 2017): more muscle in every millimeter.

As briefly mentioned previously, the starting price of the MacBook 10,1 (12-inch, Mid 2017) sets itself quite high at $1299. The second option positions itself at $1599, configured with an 1.3GHz Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz, 8GB RAM, 512GB storage and the Intel HD Graphics 615 processor. A further build-to-order configuration of the MacBook suggests an 1.4GHz Core i7 processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz, and a 16GB RAM option for a further additional fee.

While both the starting and the build-to-order prices of the MacBook appear to be relatively high when compared to the device’s predecessors, such phenomenon can be explained by a number of reasons, for instance, that compared to the cheaper MacBook Air, the chips used in the Air are older than those in the MacBook, not to mention the high-resolution innovative display and design of the more upscale MacBook.

  • The laptop is also configured with twice as much RAM, better battery life and an updated keyboard (in fact, potential customers are encouraged by reviewers to test out the keyboard before making the purchase, as the difference between that of the 2017 MacBook and Apple’s previous models appears to be quite drastic).
  • The MacBook’s improved GPU boasting Intel HD graphics to 615 from 2016’s 515 positions the new laptop as a more desirable option for those who might be interested in using the MacBook for gaming, Still, while scoring better in graphics than its predecessor, specifically the entry-level iMac, and catering perfectly to the needs of those intending to utilise the MacBook for every day needs, such as everyday work and software usage, the laptop is not purposefully designed for those in the market for a gaming computer.

Miscellanea

A keyboard refined for an even better hands-on experience.
  • Many of the critics of the MacBook 10,1 (12-inch, Mid 2017) tend to focus on the limits of the computer’s connectivity – the only two ports offered by the device are the single USB-c and the headphone jack.
