I think Apple should kill the MacBook Air (not sure why it wasn't killed a long time ago when the new 12 inch MacBook launched).
Then all MacBook Pros should have the touch bar if they're going to keep it (no 13 inch two port version without one).
It's strange to me that the Airs and the MacBook Pro without touch bar exist.
- quicklyfrozen 9y agoWhy can't we have a choice instead, for both 13" and 15" models? IMO, the cheaper models still exist so they still have some chance of selling into education.
- notadoc 9y agoOn the contrary, Apple should make the "Touch Bar" a build-to-order option and let people opt out of it. There's a reason the 13" two port weaker version is so popular.
- atonse 9y agoGod I hope not. We just bought a 13" non touch bar MacBook pro and it's been simply awesome. The touch bar looked like a total waste of $300 extra, so we instead put that into memory upgrades and Apple care. I'm fine with the touch bar being a premium feature, I just don't want to pay that premium.
- gnicholas 9y ago> I think Apple should kill the MacBook Air (not sure why it wasn't killed a long time ago when the new 12 inch MacBook launched). Because the MacBook is substantially slower than the MBA, has fewer ports, and a higher starting price? I'd love to replace my aging MBA, but the MacBook is too much money for not enough machine. (And I don't love the expensive new MBPs.)
- rando444 9y agoThey did sadly kill off the 11" macbook air shortly after the 12" macbook launched.
- malloryerik 9y agoI love my trusty 11" air (apart from the bezel).
- x0 9y agoGod no! I love my MacBook Air. Plus it's all I can afford.
