I'm not an Apple fan but the Macbook 13 8/128 is a solid buy. Competitively priced against the other industry leaders (XPS, Surface, X1, etc).

The only reason I don't own one is because the 16/512 variant makes a silly jump in price. I think that's where the complaint should be. Not with the Mac "Pro".

Apple is not dumb. They sell the 8/128 variant to college kids and know that companies will pony up the ridiculous price jump so their developers can run VMs and local compiles on a i7 16/512.

I don’t see a “MacBook” for sale on the Apple Store. Did you mean MacBook Air Retina or MacBook Pro 13”?

I wouldn’t buy these until they update the keyboard.

Apologies. Macbook Pro 13.

I'm not an Apple person so all the funny distinctions get lost on me sometimes.
