Since the latest release, I've found that mentally substituting "Deluxe" for "Pro" helps to clarify Apple's design choices. I just can't see how a machine without USB non-C or display ports can be meant for professionals. I'd gladly pay for a heavier, thicker machine to have those things (and to avoid the dongles).
- lowbloodsugar 10y agoExactly. There's nothing "Pro" about it. Maybe "Executive" or "Limited".
- josho 10y agoMaybe this is all the natural progression towards the final marketing scheme. Eg. The automotive industry. Did you want the DLX, GS, or GX trim package? Obvious extreme sarcasm here. But it seems to be the trend.
- pentae 10y agoI think you’ve nailed it - this is a branding problem more than anything else. They have tried merging the Macbook Air and the Pro into one computer and its just pissed off both fanbases. If they had just called these the Macbook 13” and 15” everybody would have been impressed. Three laptops - Macbook 12”, Macbook 13” and Macbook 15” feels more Apple to me than this current frankenstein of brand names “Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Pro w/ Touch Bar”
