Form factor was always a secondary factor. First and foremost was high specs in CPU, memory, storage, connectors and screen. i.e. for a Pro-fessional user (photographer, graphics designer, film).
I think you're getting confused with the non-Pro macbooks and 'air' line.
I'm wondering what you've been using your mac for if performance isn't a concern... I'd be concerned that you might have been paying over the odds ...
- wodenokoto 10y agoA few months after the mid-2009 MacBook Pro release there was a MacBook release with identical specs. In 2009 the difference between a professional and an amateur MacBook was literally screen, keyboard mousepad and aluminium vs. plastic. > I think you're getting confused with the non-Pro macbooks and 'air' line. The air was more expensive than a pro in the early days. > I'm wondering what you've been using your mac for if > performance isn't a concern Writing, researching and programming. I payed for high-quality components and a great form factor, and that has payed off well. It has always had good performance, but for the same price, I could have gotten much faster PC laptops.
