The specs on the new MacBook aren't great. Guess that's why it's not a pro. I think the air has better internals even (could be wrong about that though)

Change is inevitable...
This shyt is not even worth looking at til the 3rd gen or 4th gen maybe.
And by then, the competition will drop alternatives that embarrass it.

Apple wants to be a luxury brand so bad. They better keep that watch price more reasonable.
Even many Apple users today are not gonna be stupid enough to spend $500 on a watch that only works when paired with an iPhone. Even though the watch looks great. And that 18 hour battery life isn't helping either. Remember that a great amount of iPhone sales are bought on contract. The Apple Watch will be sold at full price.
I can see Google taking advantage of this and making Android Wear compatible with iOS before the Watch drops April 24th.

For those who were able to watch the event:
1. Are the features the same between the models? Are you just paying for the build quality
2. Is the default screen customizable? Cause when I look at it I don't wanna be seeing no traditional clock with no numbers
1. Yes & Yes. There is also a $50 difference between screen size. Generally, 38mm for women 42mm for men.
2. Yes, they showed the ability to add more details on the watch face.
The sports model will sellout

From what I can remember. There are no real differences other than the appearance.
And yes the screen is customization. Analog/Digital/Add your own custom icon/face (like in the Keynote, they had Mickey Mouse in the middle of a clock)
Apple curing the world
wants to be a luxury brand?
Apple IS a luxury brand and where can you spend $500 or even $1000 for a watch with the level of functionality and build quality found in the Apple Watch?
New iPod touch?

I'm not an Apple fan or a "fan" of any one sect of technology. But the people in here saying what Apple can't or won't do in any capacity are stupid. They have more than a loyal fanbase, they are damn near a religion of technology at this point. There is no buying with Apple, there is only indoctrination.

I'm good w/ my late 2013 retina
Yeah that shyt's gonna hold me over for a minute.
Numerous MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, iPadMinis, & iPodTouchs thru the years that have all served me very well, no complaints....they really do just fukking work!!!! BUT, that being said........even to this day the best product I've ever bought from Apple is the 160gig iPod Classic!!!!!! For someone that drives around all day for work & has a huge music collection, it's really a fukking godsend. Had to cop an extra one once they were discontinued last year, just in case.......those beasts are going for $900+ on eBay now

I'm so torn on the macbook. No fan and force touch is dope, but the lack of connections doesn't sit right with me. I'll probably hold out for a pro with force touch
