    I've seen and held it, I prefer the space gray. There's no doubt how pretty it was, but i'm not yet ready for a single port laptop. Maybe in 3 years time.

    It will probably have more than one port in 3 years time. :)

    Just did a hands on and I am impressed by the design. It looks like an ipad that you can split open and reveal a keyboard. However, I am not convinced this is for me. The 1 port is a big issue for me. The keyboard is also a bit funky. Because of the thinness it doesn't have much of a give. The technology of the trackpad is amazing. It acutally feels it's clicking even though there is no moving part....and you will feel the force click getting registered. But alas, this is still not enough to warrant to update my i7 13" MacBook. I love my ports too much.

    Probably one of the most comprehensive video review of the 12" Macbook

    Nah, I guess the end of the month ETA is more or less correct... which isn't such a big deal since no amount has actually been debited yet before shipment. In any case, thanks for sharing your updates :)

    Thanks for the info. I placed my order Monday of last week. I am hoping that the delivery time would be shortened somehow. Hehe. Can't wait to get my hands on it. :D

    To those who have used the new Force Touch Trackpad of this new MacBook, is it really a feature worth waiting for (in the coming 2015 MBP 15"), or the old multi-touch trackpad is good enough?
