The 12" Retina display on the MacBook doesn’t just have a high resolution, but it’s also paper thin. Apple reduced the space between display components for a tighter, more integrated design. The Retina display has a 2304 × 1440 native resolution and has 178° viewing angles, thanks to its IPS panel. The Force Touch trackpad may look like other trackpads on the surface, but it’s what is underneath that makes it distinct. Force sensors detect how much pressure you’re applying and the sensory capabilities of the Force Touch trackpad allow you to tell your MacBook what you want it to do based on subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply. Apple designed a butterfly mechanism, which is wider than the scissor mechanism and is made from a stiffer material – allowing for a more stable, responsive key that takes up less vertical space. The redesigned keys on the MacBook feature a larger surface area, a thinner construction, and a deeper curvature, creating a more defined space for your fingertip to naturally find and press the keys. This design allows for much greater control when typing.
