MacBooks are gone, they were replaced with Airs. Basically it is size vs performance. MacBook Pros are fast, Airs are sleek. Given the choice people want an Air form, but sometimes people can't choose them (game performance, faster compiling, whatever).
The original MacBook was a cheap alternative to the pro. That is now the Air, MacBooks aren't coming back. When the Air form is as fast as a Pro, the pro form factor will disappear as well.
- sirclueless 15y agoI agree, the old choice was "Fast, cheap or thin" for MB Pro, MB, and MB Air respectively. The current choice is "Fast or thin." Why on earth would they want to reintroduce the cheap? And if they did, why would they make it more expensive than the thin?
- dave1619 15y agoAgreed, the Air form factor is the future... and Apple will likely hold on to the Pro line as long as there's a decent demand... after which, there will be only one line... the Air (which they might rename to just Macbook).
