So the Air joins the Macbook Pro 14/16 design language which is nice. I find it strange that the Macbook Pro 13 gets an M2 but keeps the same design? Does the Macbook Pro 13 even need to exist anymore?

The store hasn't been updated yet, but it appears that the 13" MBP is the only way to get the Touch Bar any more. Which is actually a thing that might get me to buy it. I'm one of the six or so people who like the Touch Bar.

This was my thought too. It seems really odd to me to keep this in the line up (especially with the latest chip).

Depending on pricing (including base storage), I might get one instead of the Air. It gives you an SD slot, which allows you to seamlessly expand storage in the future. But I still want to see more details on the new base MBP...they rushed through that faster than any hardware announcement I've ever seen.

i really wished 13 inch pro refresh

14 inch is too pro for me

looks like i have to buy the air now!

[gnicholas]

It was refreshed. But the intro was so fast, if you blinked you might have missed it!

[ushakov]

but the design is still 2016-era?

[gnicholas]

Yeah I guess that's why it took 5 seconds. Didn't need to waste any breathe on HDMI, SD, or even MagSafe!

some people still probably want the touchbar (and has enough support internally within apple)
