All other Macs made in the past nine years have had 16:10 aspect ratio, a shape that’s more versatile for both productivity and entertainment.

We have the same sturdy yet lightweight chassis milled from solid aluminium, and an 11.6-inch TN LCD screen, which stands apart from all other Mac computers and displays – it’s the only 16:9 widescreen display in the range. Here’s why it doesn’t matter that the MacBook is expensive, underpowered and only has one port.) (Not everyone likes that radical rethink, of course. That means exceptional build quality and stunning looks, admittedly, but it’s hard not to be a little disappointed by the lack of change on these machines when the 12-inch MacBook got such a radical rethink.

Let’s look at physical design first of all – which won’t take long because of the lack of change here.
