I was kind of hoping for a revamped 12" MacBook but looks like we didn't get one. I wonder if this bump is already the usual spring revamp or if something else

  Seriously; everyone is talking about jumping ship from Apple's products, all doom and gloom, but I'm coming from the opposite direction. I do not like or use Apple products unless my work strenuously requires me to. But the dearth of offerings in high-quality laptops under 13.3" is astonishing. While I personally prefer the 10.1" form factor, I think that Apple is onto something with pushing a 12" 'daily driver' model for people who want a power/portability compromise between a Chromebook and a 13-15" workhorse. So if Apple came out with something like that which had more than a single port, I'd probably jump on board with it. If they don't, I think that Chromebooks may take the market within a few years. Right now you need to do a bit of tinkering to turn them into fully-fledged computers, but Google's been adding some really cool features, both official and unofficial.

    I agree. I am still longing for the new Apple MacBooks and love the tech they are putting out. I was highly hoping for a 12" revamp so I could finally get one. The first model was nice but didn't convince me just yet, but what they put into the recent MacBook pros like the new keyboard and tb3 put my hopes high for a 12" that could make me pull the trigger.

      Was hoping for the update too. My personal is a 2011 11" and am waiting for the update to 12" to upgrade.

    Where were you in 2003 when you could get a PowerBook 12? It had the same footprint as an 8.5"X11" sheet of paper and a full OS.
