Apple “killed” Macbook Air. And tells you to pay dearly for it. What to do to not lose Gazeta.pl

If you are thinking about buying a new computer from Apple, and you think the heat is on Macbook Air, it is, unfortunately, but the company just told you that nothing of this. You want to have the latest version of laptop with an Apple on the logo, but I need the touchpad? Buy a special edition of the Macbook Pro. The only trouble is that it is absolutely not profitable.

Successor Aira’s MacBook Pro “lousy” with Touch-Bar, that is new, touch the function bar. But this is not the only component, which the Apple poskąpiło. In this version, the company decided to take another 2 Thunderbolt ports 3 (USB-C), leaving you with only two inputs. Therefore, we can say that Apple has estimated its touch panel, two ports and slightly better processor frequency and graphics on next to 1500 rubles (for comparison, in Macbook Pro, and Touch no Bar).

thus, If you definitely want to have a new Macbook, and you don’t care about Touch Bar, it will have to pay 7499 rubles. Only that it is worth considering whether it is better to look at the hardware from last year.

Last year, probably the last of this name Air might be a good choice, yet there is the suggestion Apple. For the same amount of internal storage (256 GB SSD), memory (8 GB), Intel Core i5 1.6 GHz instead of 2.0 GHz), slightly worse graphics to pay is 7499 5799 RUB RUB. It’s on 1700 roubles less, a little weaker, options, well, not so “expensive” design, as currently have a Macbook Pro.

What you get in return? First, charging with MagSafe adapter, which you will not see in the new Pro. 2 USB 3 ports, SDXC card slot (which is not in the new Pro), and a single Thunderbolt 2 port.

No inputs USB type-C can be a disadvantage, because the standard is becoming more popular. However, at least you will be able to your Macbook Air to connect new iPhone 7, or whatever. Because in the case of the Macbook Pro you will need an adapter from USB to USB-C.

That means that the owner of a Macbook Pro is not connecting to the computer the iPhone, but you won’t have problems connecting later smartphone with Android because USB-C becomes an increasingly popular standard for such devices.

good thinking, Apple!
