We recorded this the day after Apple’s big event, so obviously, there is a lot to cover! Glenn and Susie chat about whether the watch’s materials really matter, and why of course there’s no trade-in program…unless you count eBay. But the new MacBook really did steal the show, so we geek out about that too, from the trackpad’s taptic feedback to the smaller keyboard’s bigger keys. (Yes, really. Bigger keys.) And what’s up with that port? Glenn is glad you asked.
