We're calling it right now: 2019 will be the year of laptops being actual OOTD accessories.

I mean, it happened when Apple made rose gold iPhones — so matching with your laptop as well would just be leveled-up styling.

For any of those die-hard pink fans, you should know that the 256 GB rose gold 12-inch MacBook is $300 off at Amazon today, dropping it to just $999.

Side note: Getting the latest model of a MacBook for under a grand is kind of a miracle, considering it's not even on sale and going for the regular price of $1,299 at Best Buy and Apple's site. If you were wondering.

The smallest MacBook out right now (it even has the Air beat), the 12-inch MacBook is the ultimate grab-and-go device. In that compact package, you're still getting a full-size backlit keyboard, a retina display with three million pixels, Intel HD graphics, and a 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core M3 Processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.0GHz, plus all-day battery life that heftier MacBooks can only dream of.

It's essentially the power of a MacBook Pro without the weight. Amazon customer Johnson explains it perfectly:

"Was surprised with this for Christmas as the screen on my 15 in MacBook Pro is broken. I LOVE this little, light, adorable computer! Having no issues at all with it! This is for people in-between "light" MacBook Air users and "professional" MacBook Pro users."

Regularly $1,299, you can save $300 and grab your new sidekick for $999.
