Call it the 12" MacBook-ification of the MacBook Pro line. This time around, they've pared away several features that are hallmarks of pro laptops, and even non-pro laptops. Mind you, they didn't do all those things at once-generally one feature gets the axe in a release. At various times, they've removed the floppy drive, then later the optical drive and removable battery. The company has never been afraid of removing "legacy" technology before it's quite reached the legacy stage. In Chief (twitter: first major refresh of the MacBook Pro line since 2012 is a controversial one. What's Not: Expensive- what a price hike! More for good looks than Pro work: oddball butterfly low travel keyboard, no legacy ports except headphone jack. Superb display, OS X Sierra is a fine OS. What's Hot: Fantastic build and good looks.
