In a special AppleInsider podcast episode, we get reactions from Daniel Eran Dilger, who was at Monday's event that ushered in a brand new 12-inch MacBook with Retina display, refreshed MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, and extensive details regarding Apple Watch specs and pricing.
Reporting live from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, AppleInsider's Dilger offers an on-the-scene review of Apple's big event, including hands-on looks at the new 12-inch MacBook and, of course, Apple Watch.
Along with hands-on analysis of Apple's latest and greatest hardware, he offers thoughts on today's event, as well as where he thinks the company is moving with its just announced products and software initiatives.

Very disappointed in the steel prices.. I expected ~$400-500 - I had a steel link style watch for years and had my heart set on that. but I'm not spending $1000 on it.. Even the $700 for Watch Milanese loop is over my $600 max budget.. and I really don't want to spend that kind of money for a watch with a plastic band.. Guess I'll pass for now. Maybe they'll come down in a few years. I refuse to spend more on this than I did my iPhone though...
It's been funny to see how the blogosphere largely doesn't get it. Patel at the Verge is trying to act like having two buttons on the ?Watch is the most complicated thing in the history of computers (even the commenters are mocking him), people still don't get that ?Watch will become so much more in future generations, and you've got idiots whining how the new MacBook "has too much bezel", which is patently stupid.

So pay $349 or $400 for the Sport, and buy a leather band or something.
Thanks for this podcast, Stephen and Daniel Eran. I look forward to a review of the Apple Watch in due course. I trust Apple will give you an Apple Watch Edition to review.
[quote name="sog35" url="/t/185157/appleinsider-podcast-goes-deep-inside-apples-spring-forward-event#post_2689059"] I'm so disappointed the 911 Turbo is $150k. Hope they lower the price next year. You cant have Bel Air taste on a compton budget. I mean how the hell do expect the steel watch with steel band to be a mere $100 more than the sport version? High quality steel watches all sell for $1k+ at the bare minimum.[/quote] I drove a few supercars recently, Ferrari, Lambos, Aston Martin, and a 911, and the Porsche was hands down the most fun to drive. I see why [@]Relic[/@] reveres them.
