With the launch of the new and refreshed MacBook, Apple has decided to remove the listing from its website, prohibiting the sale of the MacBook Air and 12-inch MacBook.
These laptops defined the entry-level MacBook one could possibly opt for as the new laptops start a notch higher in terms of pricing. However, Apple had to discontinue the given options sooner or later, which intends to make the buying way simpler given the revised set of options.
MacBook comes second next to iPhones in terms of revenue model, and updating this line-up became all the more important. This meant parting ways with their older generation laptop which garnered a symbolic existence in the eyes of college students and young professionals across the world.
The older laptop received many upates and security patches until 2017, but a major revamp in regards to design and processing power was necessary to keep up with growing competition.
The new MacBook Air with its refreshed slim design and the much-needed Retina display addresses some important issues. But users report suggests an overall experience, that has lost its original essence that made a MacBook what it is today.
Nevertheless, Apple hopes to fix some of these issues with further iterations of the MacBook like a more tactile keyboard, slower processor and lack of available ports. So, If you long for these laptops you still might have luck finding it on e-comm platforms such as Flipkart and Amazon or through some offline Apple retailers. The 2019 MacBook Air now starts for Rs. 99,000 or Rs. 92,704 for college students as its original price of Rs. 1,14,900 in India. The entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro now starts for Rs. 1,19,900 or Rs. 1,11,264 for college students
