But wait, it gets better. The rest of that space is filled with batteries and it has no USB ports.

How long ago did they take out optical drives?
How are you supposed to install anything?
And this point it's just a tablet

While I agree this macbook is kinda stuff, my desktop doesn't even have an optical drive. I use cds and dvds so much less now that Steam, Google Play, and Amazon exist that an external one is fine for anything that needs to be installed.

I'm not saying the lack of an optical drive is a problem
But my point is that you can't use an external drive without any ports to plug it in to

By installing things, he probably meant operating systems. You know, because that's usually done with a CD or USB stick. Both of those are now apparently obsolete according to apple.
Part of me wants to think that they did that to prevent people from using anything but Mac OS X on it.

No, I mean anything in general
You'd need to transfer the files (or rip an iso for software on a disk) on another computer and transfer it over the network
I don't think the average mac user knows how to do that

lol who the forget uses CD drives anymore anyway? Companies shouldn't need to keep a CD Drive that takes up space and limits how compact you can make the computer for an outdated technology. If you need a CD Drive so bad buy a USB-connected one for like $10-$20.

I don't see whats so bad about having a small amount of components so you can include much higher battery capacity. Although the price is ridiculous and I think they dun forgeted up with that, a more reasonable price would have been $500. I'm sure they will change it when it gets limited sales.

Ever hear of putting Windows on a USB-stick and installing it that way? I'm sure Microsoft will start selling their OS straight up like that in the near future anyways as CD's become less popular.

And the port it has is USB-C, not sure what you think it is, but it's the next USB standard after 3.0.

But wait, it gets better. The rest of that space is filled with batteries and it has no USB ports.
Not sure how this is a bad thing. The one USB port is pretty stupid tho.

cool story. Now find me one that can plug into this new mac

I'm not saying that. The problem is smaller size = less power. And for what you get,
the price is ridiculous

It was obviously not built around being powerful.

Considering it's brand new it'll take time for new things to come out for it. But companies need to start releasing products that use the USB-C before any others even consider making accessories for it.

It was obviously not built around being powerful.
And I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Not everyone needs something powerful
The only problem is, as you agreed, the price for what you're getting


Also the biggest problem i have with the usb port is that there's ONE of them, which has to be used for power AND data
Honestly how much more would it have taken to give two ports
