1 Conclusion
While many were expecting a sub-$1,000 MacBook Air refresh from Apple, the company didn’t deliver. It did, however, release a worthy MacBook Air successor that is extremely aggressive and competitive for its price point.
It’s technically Apple’s cheapest new laptop, but with its design and performance gains, it comes a lot closer to Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro than the 12-inch MacBook. So how do you choose between the two?
If you’re a pro user who works with a lot of video and photo, or other CPU-intensive apps, you may want to opt for the MacBook Pro.
Everyone else will get by just fine with the MacBook Air — and they’ll also gain Touch ID, better battery life, and a better keyboard. In any case, you can’t go wrong with either device.
