John, Thanks for these resources. One faculty member did inquire about it and I only knew of the features from the keynote. It will be great to get reviews to understand the full scope of the new MacBook. One of the things that he missed was that there were adapters available to juggle the need for multiple ports (VGA, HDMI as well as power and USB) with the new USB-C. $80 was a bit of a shock.
Your resources will hopefully clarify the pluses and limitations of the MacBook before people "impulse" buy. Thanks again.

You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in – forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” -Emerson This is the essence of forgiveness.
