On March 9, Apple finally announced its newest ultraportable laptop.

Christian Post Report – Several days ago, Apple launched its brand new ultraportable laptop, the MacBook 2015. No it isn’t the MacBook Air, or a slimmer MacBook Pro – it is an entirely new lineup for the Cupertino manufacturer.

The new laptop’s main selling point is portability and power, highlighted by the new Intel Core M chipsets that are running the show for the MacBook. These chips enable the device to be much thinner than the already thin MacBook Air.

However, in spite all the bells and whistles the new MacBook is getting from critics and consumers, some PC brands are not impressed at all.

According to a report by BGR, several PC manufacturers have launched attacks at Apple on social media.

Asus flaunted its ZenBook UX305 that boasts an even slimmer 12.3mm thickness compared to the new MacBook’s 13.1mm, which is unbelievably thin in its own right as well.

In the same fashion, Dell boasted the “infinity display” of its new XPS 13 that houses 5.7 million pixels. In its tweet, it claims that number is almost 2 million pixels better than the MacBook’s 12-inch Retina display.

Last on the list is Lenovo, who bashed Apple for placing only a single port on either side of the new MacBook. In contrast, its Yoga 3 Pro which was announced last year, is not only slightly thinner, it also boasts two USB ports and a touch screen display.

However, no matter what these PC makers say, most Apple fans are still happy that their beloved manufacturer has finally heard their cries in launching a newly designed and improved laptop.

Some of the changes that will come with the new Apple laptop is its USB C port that serves both as a USB port and a charging socket as well. There is also a headphone jack on the other side of the device.

Meanwhile, the glowing Apple logo is no more, and in its place is a metallic logo that resembles that of the iPad. It will also come in a number of colors like gray, silver and gold – just like other Apple devices.
