The MacBook is the "Retina MacBook Air"
All anyone wanted with the MacBook Pro was: better performance, 32GB RAM, better battery life.
It's a pro machine, it's meant to sacrifice some portability for pro features.
- toyg 10y ago> The MacBook is the "Retina MacBook Air" Unfortunately, no it is not. The processor in those things is pretty crippled, and the lack of ports is beyond ridiculous.

- geerlingguy 10y agoI was thinking about switching to the 12" MacBook instead of the 13" Pro for portability reasons alone, but every time I ran my test suites on it, I realized it would be slower than my 2013 Air with a 1.7 GHz i7 and I gave it up.
- Urbanxassassin 10y agoWell at it's current dimensions and price point I doubt apple is bringing back the macbook air.
- gaius 10y agoCurrent ads on TV in the UK suggest that the target market for the Macbook Pro is first-year undergrads. Someone on here said that if you mentally replace "pro" in Applespeak with "deluxe" it starts to make a bit more sense.
