  • Apple VP of industrial design details MacBook Air overhaul

    Judging by the “x-ray”, the right side probably have no space left for another port or a card slot.

    I’m thinking the possibility of a 15”, as long the weight/size are still reasonable.

    Since none of us have seen the teardown, why don’t we wait for it, and then come up with a conclusion?

    There could be some good reasons why you don’t get an SD card slot/extra USB port.

    It's time to let him go for good. 

    I wish the UX would be more clear and intuitive and he literally made the iOS 7 difficult. There's so much cognitive burden. It's too flat. It's difficult to intuitively discover.

    But I see the refinements over time and every iteration, the cognitive burden becomes lighter and lighter. 


    I agree that “affordance” is an issue with Apple. It’s a UX concept where an element looks like how it’s supposed to be used. 
    For example, the door handles on a Tesla S/X are amazing; they extend and invite to be pulled when you get closed. They look like things to be grabbed and pulled. No doubt how to use them. In contrast, the Tesla 3-series handles are not great. They are contracted and you need to awkwardly push them to open.

    With macOS, for example they changed buttons to look like icons, while they used to look like buttons before they moved to a flat design. Some elements are hidden and hard to discover. Similar issues in iOS.
    But fortunately we got rid of the awkward skeuomorphism as well.
    Meanwhile I’m operating my Linux machine with only a keyboard.

    It’s a computer.  What kind of “simplicity” do people expect anyway.

    Just your daily golden comment from Goldvador.  I guess Apple make money for 15+ years by building junks.

    The most “real world” test for this will be sustained performance. Hopefully the new design dissipates heat better than any previous fanless design to date.

    how much performance you’ll lose in the long term anyway?  Depending on the application, I doubt it can make more than 10% (that and we can always make it run cooler).  Then you got a complete silent design & better peripherals.
