I wonder how they managed to design it without a fan so that the components don't overheat.
Well Phil said the CPU only dissipates 5 watts, and they've got that big aluminum clamshell to radiate it from. Instead of using improvements in silicon to drive performance up in this generation, they're driving size down.

The new Macbook is very interesting (especially for the above mentioned battery layering), but the price is quite high. I liked the new Macbook very much though. Apple Watch was boring.
Yeah, they could have skipped the whole Watch thing. ("Just go back and watch the original Apple Watch launch. Imagine we did that again for 45 minutes.")
The MacBook is indeed interesting, although it creates an obvious inversion in the product line. I assume the MacBook Air is not long for this world. "Um, so the 'Air' is heavier than the 'not-Air'? Oh kaaay." Also, sic transit gloria Thunderbolt, that didn't last long.
I want someone (not me) to go back and count how many times someone said some variant on "beautiful" during the event. What was the maximum number of seconds that elapsed between mentions?
