It is the second best selling computer in Apple’s line. I suspect it is a combination of people who see this as the last chance to get the Touchbar (there are fan of this) and corporate IT departments who buy this because they have an existing spec for a moderately priced laptop that is not a “consumer” line. That “pro” in the name gives them an out.
For any individual buyer, the upcoming Air or the existing 14” MBP would be better choices depending on your needs and budget.
- geerlingguy 4y agoOne company I worked for would only allow purchasing the 13" Pro, and not the Air models, for years. Most of us who traveled would've rather used the Airs, and after maybe 2-3 years with that policy it was relaxed a bit. With the first generation or two of MacBook Air, it was light but it was WAY less performant than even the entry level MacBook Pro. With Apple Silicon, the case for the entry Pro is very slim, but inertia keeps it going. I think it's like how Apple kept making the eMac for a while, even after the iMac had eaten its lunch.
