I’m not particularly interested in the Apple Watch, so I only paid cursory attention to Apple’s event on March 9th. There’s nothing wrong with the watch. It’s me. I quit wearing a watch when I retired in 2008. Don’t need one. My Fitbit has a clock (and before that, my pedometer had one), and I always carry that in my pocket. Of course, my phone has a clock and timers, and all the other things my watch had, so the watch is redundant. I don’t wear one. I certainly don’t need to spend $350 on one. I don’t think I’ve spent that much on watches in my entire life if I add all the individual watches I’ve purchased together. (Assuming, again, that you’re not calling my cell phones watches.)

But the new MacBook did catch my eye. It sounded good, but then I looked at the Apple site and compared specs. I think I’ll be waiting. It’s positioned at the bottom end of the MacBook line, but pricewise, it’s a little higher.

It’s main selling points? Two pound weight and retina screen. Other than that, in my opinion, the 13″ MacBook Air is a better deal.

But if I didn’t already have a maxed out MacBookPro and an 11-inch MacBook Air? Would I be enticed? You may remember I have an iPad Air 2, and an iPhone 6Plus. I suspect if I didn’t already have the 11-inch MacBook Air, I might be interested in this, but since I do have the 11-inch MacBook Air, and the biggest drawback outside the tiny 64G solid state drive and 2G RAM is it’s 11-inch screen, I’m not sure the new MacBook can offset that with a retina screen. The 13-inch MacBook Air has a better battery life, and I think that might be worth more than a glorious retina screen (althoughhhhh, they are enticing).

If YOU aren’t sure what is best for you, Apple has a nice Compare Mac Models page. Check it out.
