Apple's new MacBook is insanely thin surprisingly snappy and really attractive but I don't think it's quite ready for primetime and these are five ways Apple's new MacBook could be better so what's up guys Jonathan here with TLD hope you guys are doing well the new MacBook is out it's really attractive it's stupid thin and even though you shouldn't want one you kind of do now the first thing that Apple could and should have done to make this a more justifiable purchase is a price drop these start out at $12.99 us and I think of Apple dropped at to $9.99 that would be a winner especially considering the amount of storage you get would be a really viable alternative to an iPad I've seen a lot of comments calling the new MacBook an overpriced glorified netbook and to an extent it is but you got to remember you're getting really fast flash storage even though it's an Intel M processor it's pretty snappy for what it is a gigs a ram a beautiful display and overall a pretty capable machine just think for the price point it is too much money now the second thing Apple could do is add a second USB C port because aside from the headphone jack that is all you got it's a little bit scary for example one really cool thing that you can do with USB C that you couldn't on any other MacBook is charge it with an external battery so I have this huge monster 25,000 milliamp hour external battery and that is powering the macbook and you can charge that for days the downside though is because there's only one port with this and no other adapters that is all you can do and your alluded to that one poor but if you had one more now we're talking now the third thing kind of segues from USBC and that is an apple should include the freaking adapter in the box for the amount of money that you pay for this machine and the fact that they are limiting you to one port they should not charge you $80 for a multi output adapter it is insane yes the technology behind USB C is awesome you can charge it like I mentioned you can get input output display even but the fact that they're making you pay another hundred dollars on top of the already priced MacBook is just crazy now the fourth way Apple could improve this MacBook is to throw out the potato and put an HD webcam inside I'm not asking for a 4k or 8k a simple 720p webcam would do the job but nope Apple stuck a 480p camera inside this new MacBook quick reference here is a video sample of the new MacBook camera 480p in all its glory you guys are watching a 4k video right now so it's stretched out but if I were to scale it back down to a hundred percent and its actual pixels this is what you get and that's pretty sad I understand yes there might be some arguments for broadband or saving data but the fact of the matter is we're in 2015 and whether you use in Skype or Google Hangouts you should at least have 720p now the last thing Apple needs to do is find some sort of MagSafe replacement those that own a MacBook with a mac safe power adapter no it is an immensely valuable feature I know there's been times when I've tripped and kicked the crap out of my cable but luckily with Mac's safe it pops right out if you do this with a new MacBook and that USBC cable you who are gonna jack your new MacBook up now I really don't see Apple adding that Mac safe port back to this new MacBook so I don't know if they're gonna need to adjust or mess with the USB standard or they could do something crazy and that's been like wireless charging which would be an absolute killer alternative to Mac safe on top of that one big gripe that I have with the new MacBook is there is no sort of LED indicator to show you that your MacBook is charging again that was something that was really useful on that MagSafe adapter because you don't know if you didn't plug it into the wall properly that connection might be loose the cable might be messed you could be thinking you're charging your MacBook and in reality you're not and that is not cool so that about wraps up today's video definitely stay tuned and subscribe if you haven't yet so gonna miss the full review I think I might go for something along the lines of a 30-day challenge or living with a new MacBook so if you're excited and you want to see that make sure to smash that like button aside from that if you guys have any questions drop me a line down below or the absolute best way to get a hold of me is on twitter at TLD today other than that this is Jonathan and I will see you guys later
