The newest release from Apple is an updated MacBook. Pretty boring, right? I mean, who really cares about new laptops anymore? But this new ultraportable work machine has skated straight into our hearts and caused them to swell with joy. Sure, it may be underpowered for the way some people work, but it’s absolutely perfect for the way everybody else works, which is on the Internet and on the road. This is a laptop designed for today, so we’d better get used to more just like it. Also, it’s rose gold, a color trend that’s eating the gadget industry.
The beginning of the episode is all about how we Slack when we’re away from the office. With family, friends, and neighbors. Sometimes, with people we despise.
