That new design came with a hefty price hike, though, so ever since 2016 Apple has also offered a more basic 'entry-level' version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with a lower specification, and which also omits the Touch Bar. Like its larger 15-inch brethren, the 13-inch version of the MacBook Pro received a major revamp back in 2016, when Apple introduced the Touch Bar, and a new lightweight design. But, as with so many ultraportable laptops, the MacBook Air does trade performance for portability, and its modest dual-core processor is best suited to simple tasks such as web browsing, or light use of apps such as Word and Excel.īusiness users wanting a sleek and elegant Apple laptop that offers more power might be tempted by this new addition to the MacBook Pro range instead.
