Can this be considered an "update" at all? I had naively hoped that the updated MBA would finally be an affordable mac notebook that is up to date, but apparently the MBP at $1299 (even more here in Germany) is the most "affordable" option that can be taken seriously.


The Air is perfect for professional wordsmithing (the other kind of pro that Steve Jobs always seemed to remember). If they could stick a retina display it, they'd sell a ton of them.

This was a kiss off, kind of like the IPhone SE.
