Apple Back At It Again With A New And Improved MacBook

And to think that they were out of improvement ideas.

Apple

I would like to announce with great excitement that Apple has created an updated version of the MacBook. From personal experience and opinion, the standard versions of the MacBook were beautiful and helpful inventions that were able to bless the majority of our generation of college students. Now, they are making the MacBook even better (as always).

The MacBook I received after high school graduation was the 15” Retina Display MacBook Pro. It has a variety of great features such as the LED black-lit retina display, about nine hours of battery life and up to 1TB of flash storage. And of course, it is also an amazing laptop to binge watch Netflix on, write essays, do research for classes and a plethora of other things.

The new MacBook has the same features as the laptop I am currently using but it is extremely unique and I will tell you why. The new MacBook is only 12” in width and weighs 2.46 lbs. less than the MacBook I currently own. Now, I know that it doesn’t seem to be much of an upgrade but here is why the new MacBook is a breakthrough in the world of technology: it is 12” in width, 2.03 lbs. in weight, has 10 hours of battery life and the same LED black-lit retina display. But how can a 12”2.03 lb. laptop have the same features as a 15” 4.49 lb. laptop?

The new MacBook is the first MacBook to be completely made of metal (except for the keyboard keys). It has a full size keyboard, the retina display is refined from the glass down to the pixels of the display, the battery’s construction was redesigned to lay in sheets in order to make the battery smaller and to last longer and the most impressive factor of the new MacBook is the elimination of a fan or any moving parts in the laptop which means you can work in complete silence.

All of these features fit into a thickness of 13.1 millimeters which is something that has never been done before. Not only this, but the new MacBook comes in a variety of classical colors including: Rose Gold, Gold, Silver and Space Gray. I will always be a supporter of the intelligent designs of Apple and all that they have accomplished to bring a sleek, beneficial product into our lives. Although I will be using the MacBook Pro I own for many more years to come, I look forward to watching Apple create more and more upgraded versions of all of their products.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

778

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
