Apple has quietly updated its MacBook lineup as they have made some biggest changes which we’ll come across this article.
Dead Of MacBook
Apple most futuristic lineup of MacBook also called as MacBook 12 now been discontinued from Apple. Apple announces this laptop in 2015 September event, Apple has taken some of the most futuristic design decision to make this laptop which all comes to vain one by one.
Apple has opted for only one Type-C for the first time as previous MacBook doesn’t have this limited port option, Apple thinks this laptop as a future of computer but the limitation of One port leads to “dongle life” as this causes many users to not to choose this laptop. Apart from port Apple also changes the Keyboard as they adopted a new design called Butterfly Mechanism which still persist and vulnerable to usage as when the user uses this keyboard they are prone to be faulty. Apple made the fourth iteration of Butterfly Keyboard but they won’t able to achieve the success.
Apart from negative Apple also made some really nice improvement like thin and light design which by far better than any counterpart. Apple opted for laminated Retina display which really looks gorgeous. Faster SSD’s and RAM also help this device to reach its potential and made it more sturdy.
But these change won’t able to keep this device for long and Apple has to make the decision to discontinue the device.
Faster 13” MacBook Pro
Apple updated the 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar earlier this year but the non-Touch-Bar model has been updated and it receives more improvements like Touch Bar and function key has been removed.
Apple also updated the 8th Gen. Intel CPU which support Quad-Core with a base clock of 1.4 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz along with this Apple also added custom made chipset T2 chipset which takes care for smaller workloads. The device also gets a True-Tone display which adjusts display temperature according to ambient lighting conditions. Storage of the device now been soldered into the motherboard same as $1800 MacBook Pro.
These smaller changes will make the MacBook Pro 13” best Ultrabook to choose according to its price range which its falls.
Air now become cheaper
Apple has reduced the cost of the MacBook Air to $100 as now MacBook Air costs around $1099 for the 128GB model. Apple also updates the CPU with Intel’s 8th Gen. with Dual-Core Core i5 clocked at 1.6 GHz Turbo boost up to 3.6 GHz. Apple also updates the Display to support True-Tone.
Apple Air 2017 model has now been discontinued from Apple as it has been the best laptop that Apple has ever created as it is sturdier than Apple current lineup. It is also been the cheapest MacBook which costs around $999 only for the 128 GB model. Now Apple MacBook Air 2019 made more sense as it now been the entry-level MacBook and its competition with 2015 MacBook also ends as 2015 MacBook costs more than Air and have only one Type-C port which made the device more unreasonable as compared with MacBook Air.

Apple now made more reasonable memory upgrade option in their Mac lineup as the user can now upgrade their memory with half the price as the previous upgrade.
So these are the changes Apple made in their current Mac lineup and also made easier to choose MacBook with various option.
