Does it work with Android? Nope? Next!

Does it have any new features? Nope? NEXT!

I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but having a physical crown rather than relying just on touch is a (I hate to day it) master-stroke.

$15 for HBO is a deal. The writer saying it is "somewhat steep" doesn't apparently pay for it now if their cable/satellite bundle. I pay more than that in my Directv bundle ($18). I have been waiting to ditch Directv altogether for the HBO deal (will pick up Hulu, Netflix, and HBO) and save nearly $100 per month. So excited!

Antennas integrated into the aluminum chassis, force touch trackpad on top of an already the best trackpad and that build quality would be nice in a non-Mac laptop.

Not even a full day of battery life, and doesn't work with Android? For $350, minimum? What an absolute waste.

 

[ssdpro]

Another month and a half delay, eh?

 

[sandman65]

And we thought the moto 360 would be bad!!!

 

[infernocy]

Now that apu has improved and has better and better on board graphics MacBook is basically obsolete

 

[kawininjazx]

The only thing I want in a smartwatch besides the time is to be able to take calls. This watch does it, but $350 is insane.

So this new Macbook Air is losing the MagSafe power port, 2 standard USB ports, Thunderbolt/Display Port and SD card slot just for one new 'reversible' type C port.

I understand style and like minimalism myself, but this is getting a bit extreme.
No ports - No sale, Apple!

Asus has great design and the trackpad is just as good in the Zen/UX line

Exactly, who still wears a watch these days. The product is late and too expensive.

 

[ern88]

So whats the battery size and life of the iWatch????

 

[razor512]

The apple watch is pretty ugly compared to their older similarly sized objects.
I actually prefer the look of the ipod nano case/ watch strap better (back when everyone and their dog were making watch straps for the ipod nano) http/i.imgur.com/wv1RPUo.png http/i.imgur.com/VCLEccY.jpg

They should have just took that design and added the extra wireless connectivity and then made it into a dedicated watch.?

I guess I was thinking in terms of HBO Now being pricier than Netflix. I pay for HBO as part of cable and haven't cut the cord (yet).

I agree that the new MacBook makes significant trade-offs. You can see my more in-depth hands-on here. http/blog.laptopmag.com/apple-macbook-2015-hands-on I personally wouldn't want to give up SD Card slot.
