The MacBook, as Associated Press reports, comes in silver, space gray and gold. The device can be charged with a new kind of connector cable and port, "USB-C," that combines power with functions now requiring HDMI, VGA or USB connections. Adapters will be available until more accessories have USB-C built-in. And the screen has the 12-inch higher-resolution Retina display.
The product will start shipping on April 10, at $1,299 with 256 gigabytes of storage. A faster processor and double the storage can be had for $1,599.
