Apple today updated its 12-inch MacBook with new processors, and made minor updates to its MacBook Air line as well. But all of that pales in comparison with the fact that the 12-inch MacBook is now available in rose gold color. 

That's right, ladies and gentleman, the pink MacBook exists.

Frankly, it was just a matter of time: Apple already has a rose gold version of the iPhone and the iPad (including the iPad Pro), and judging by every other manufacturer jumping on the bandwagon, the color is a hit.

Inside, the MacBook was also updated with Intel's new, dual-core Core M processor working at up to 1.3GHz (with a max. turbo boost of 3.1GHz), as well as faster, 1,866MHz memory, faster flash storage and Intel's HD Graphics 515 chip. 

Apple also claims longer battery life, with up to 10 hours of wireless web browsing and 11 hours of movie playback.

As far as connectivity goes, the ultra-thin laptop still features a single USB-C type port, and its size and weight remained the same. 

Apple also made 8GB of RAM standard across its MacBook Air line. 

We'll have a more detailed report about the new MacBooks soon, so stay tuned.
