Ok, so there's a 13-inch Pro that's mostly the same, but with no Touch Bar and only two USB-C ports. That's what Apple is suggesting you should buy if you want an updated MacBook Air.

Both weigh 3 pounds (Air and new MacBook Pro)

"This is advanced design and incredible new techniques that make this new MacBook Pro so unique."
dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 6:17:25 PM
Let's remember, the current Air design is way old. Many laptops are smaller, lighter, more powerful.

Still, it really holds up. The people on the left and right are using Airs, and seem to be satisfied with the experience.

dan.ackerman 10/27/2016 6:20:57 PM
Ok, that seems to be the big news. Touch Bar looks very cool. Are the prices going to scare people off? Remember, the classic Air is still just $999.
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:21:21 PM
"The MacBook Pro lineup are the best notebooks we have ever made."
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:21:28 PM
"They join other powerful products we've announced this year."
