I just browsed Apple's site to compare the models and it confused the heck out of me. https://www.apple.com/mac/compare/

The MacBook, new Air, and 13 inch Pro are roughly priced the same with very few discernible differences. An average buyer would be very confused.

Best comparison chart I've seen so far: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/10/30/18042744/...

It looks like the new Air has a 7 W chip, more like an active-cooled MacBook, while the non-TB Pro has a 15 W chip like the old Air. Only the TB MacBook Pro 13-inch has a 28 W chip.

But I know how to and what to look up. For most people: super confusing.

The choice now seems to be weight XOR battery life XOR performance, whereas one used to be able to get 2 out of 3 IMO.
