The 12-inch MacBook was even less wide and lighter than the 11-inch Air, although it was a tiny bit deeper.įinally, there’s the keyboard. The MacBook was nearly a full inch less wide than the Retina MacBook Air, 0.62 inches less deep, and 0.77 pounds lighter.
IDGĪnd yet the MacBook’s dimensions make it clear that there’s still a smaller Mac laptop to be made. Instead, it was powered by slow, low-power Intel processors and was discontinued a couple of years before Apple finally made the move to its own chips. When it first appeared, many of us thought that the 12-inch Retina MacBook wasĪ preview of the Apple silicon Mac revolution to come, all thin and light and fanless. It’s better than the old 13-inch model that we opted against, but it’s not as good as the old model, either.įortunately, Apple has already designed a true Retina successor to the 11-inch MacBook Air.
But former 11-inch MacBook Air users like me will find switching to the modern MacBook Air a bit disconcerting. What I’m saying is, users of the old 13-inch MacBook Air have found that the Retina model is a little bit lighter and more compact, which is great.
