Ok so i've been thinking (for a while actually) about the 12" MacBook, who is the actual target audience? for example the MacBook Pro exists in 2 forms the 13" and the 15". There is currently a £400 difference between the 12" MacBook and the 13" MacBook Pro (512GB MacBook and 512GB 13" MacBook Pro).
I've personally been debating whether to pick up a 12" MacBook (when they are refreshed soon) or opt for the 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, but i also own a 12.9" iPad Pro and the screen on it is bigger (i think?) than the 12" MacBook. I'd only be doing some simple tasks such as word processing (some of which i already do on my iPad Pro) play some very basic games (Theme hospital, Prison Architect) and edit some podcasts in GarageBand and iMovie. Portability would also be great since i could just put it in my bag and take it to my friends house when we do our monthly podcasts. Apart from that it would mainly be used for around the house at times when i need MacOs instead of IOS on my iPad Pro.
With an iPad Pro 12.9" and the 9.7" on the market, do you guys think that Apple has made the MacBook to sit along side it and for the 2 to work well together? what are your thoughts and opinions? is the MacBook 12" too low powered or is it a nice in-between machine?
Those who already own a 12" MacBook or even a 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, feel free to let me know your experiences
