The MacBook 2016 has been developed to be more powerful without losing much of its previous features. Based on the reviews, both the 2015 and 2016 MacBook editions are looking almost the same, due to the devices' frames. The only thing that would differ the 2016 version is its Rose Gold color, much like the iPhone 6s.

MacBook 2016 is looking a lot like its predecessor in terms of the screen, which features a 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800 Retina display. While its resolution is not amusing, compared to its rivals, the new MacBook's screen is still among the best panels in its category, according to CS Monitor.

The 2016 edition of MacBook features Intel M Chip from the Skylake, boasting a very important upgrade in power over its predecessor. Although it only has an entry level of 1.1GHZ Dual-Core Core M5 processor, it surpasses the performance of the 2015 edition by a very significant margin.

However, in spite some enhancements within itself, most of the issues that the users used to have with their 2015 MacBook are still found in the new model. One of these is the single USB-C 3.0 port, which is still included, contrary to some rumors that Apple would give users an additional USB-C port on the new 2016 edition.

In addition to this is the keyboard that uses the company's trademark butterfly-hinged keys, are noted to still provide a few small travel. Although the big, glass touch-enable trackpad is still much enjoyable to use, the 2016 edition's keyboard still needs plenty of getting used to, Mobi Picker reported.

MacBook 2016 is still the most beautiful notebook ever made by Apple, regardless of the its limitations, which, unfortunately, comes with a price.
