Marco Arment has almost nothing good to say about the new MacBook.
Here's a snip from his lengthy rant:
The MacBook just looks and feels like the obvious, no-brainer choice for a small Mac. That's why people buy it. That's why I bought it. I loved it before I bought it. I love looking at it and picking it up.
I just hate using it.
I hate typing on it, I hate the trackpad, it's slower than I expected, the screen is noticeably blurry from non-native scaling to get reasonable screen space, and I don't even find it very comfortable to use in my lap because it's too small.
I hate returning things, but I'm returning this.
