Apple’s new MacBook lineup makes much more sense
source : au.finance.yahoo.com
Apple’s MacBook problem was a confusing array of similar machines with different names, different chips, different hardware and the rest. But maybe the problem has finally been solved. With the rumored 15-inch MacBook Air coming out months ago, Apple surprised us by releasing two MacBook Pro revisions – notably in less than twelve months – to showcase the company’s most powerful chips yet. These new M3-equipped MacBook Pro 14- and 16-inch are a clearer sign of Apple’s direction.
The company has gotten rid of the long-suffering 13-inch MacBook Pro, doing away with the outdated design and divisive, frustrating Touch Bar in one fell swoop. These Pro machines – especially the M3 Max models – are great for professionals, and the MacBook Airs are for everyone.
I think Apple’s laptop lineup finally makes sense for the first time in a long time.
