It’s hard to keep a straight face, with so many obvious winks at virtually every single Apple and Surface product currently on the market, mashed up into this Frankenstein’s laptop. The “Mi Notebook Air” (kidding you not), comes into two sizes: “Microsoft Surface Book” and “Apple 2015 MacBook Retina”, or 13.3 inches and 12.5 inches for short.

I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days with both the 12” Apple iPad Pro and the Microsoft Surface Book. I’m not going to breakdown the specs on these - far too many people already have. Rather, I’m going to cover usability and my observations and opinion for which worked best for me with the hopes that this real life review helps in your decision making process.

New information have surfaced from Apple’s supply chains, in regard to both the next MacBook Pro, and the fate of the MacBook Air.

According to a recent patent titled: Stylus with inertial sensor, Mac users may soon be able to sign documents, draw, and play games, using an Apple Pencil, in conjunction with a MacBook’s Force Touch Trackpad, or a Magic Trackpad 2.
