For some reason people here ignore the following basic fact:
The new MacBook Pro 13" weights exactly like the MBA 13" but is much more powerful, in all aspects.
This is the most important aspect of portable computers - how much power and usability you can have for a given weight.

Well it ought to be… since it costs 50% more than the 13" MBA. :rolleyes:

Yes. But two days ago the option did not exist. You could choose either light weight or power and high-quality screen, but not both.
 
RIP MagSafe, so many times you've saved my mbp from death...

Same here, especially since my Mac will sometimes sit on the couch with the extension cord pugged into the other side of the room. The coffee table is right in front of the couch, so if the mac fell, it would hit the coffee table (happened to my iPad). And in the almost 4 years I've had the computer, the only issue I've had with the computer was I only had to replace the cord once
 
I may have missed it in this thread but the 11" inch Mac Air is still available as a departmental order by educational institutions (not a personal order). If you have a connection with an institution, the 11 inch is available with all the configuration options it had before last week.
