But the price this time is quite high. The unibody shell is made from a single block of 100 per cent recycled aluminum, it sports a look and feel on a par with the iconic MacBook Pro. Moreover, the new golden hue (it is also available in space grey and silver) looks stunning, a darker tone instead of the shimmery kind, which reminded me of the rose gold iPhone 6S Plus. Weighing 1.25 kg, this one has the thinnest-ever chassis, and the wedge shaped design is still there, tapering off to 4.1 mm at the thinnest point.

You also get two USB Type-C ports (Thunderbolt 3) on the left, a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the right, a third- generation ‘butterfly’ key
