It’s not supposed to launch until April 10, but somebody got their hands on a new MacBook in Vietnam and posted a video.

The new MacBook was announced at the big Apple event on March 9 in San Francisco.

The new MacBook is a marvel of simplicity and compactness. It uses the new USB-C port for its sole interface to other devices and power supply, which has given some pause. It will rely on a dongle to enable simultaneous connection to a monitor and a power supply. The Intel processor isn’t the most powerful chip in the world.

But the thing is flat-out beautiful, and can be seen as a stab into a future where not much happens on the computer and most things happen on the Web it’s connected to.
