With the upgrades done to the likes of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, it seems like the right time to discontinue on old, possibly redundant Apple MacBook. And so we say goodbye to the 12-inch model. This laptop was first introduced back in 2015, and it’s the first model to bring in a new era of MacBook design. It was the first to offer USB-C, the first to introduce the controversial and problematic butterfly keyboard, and the first to not have a glowing Apple logo in years. As Engadget points out though, the recently refreshed Air made the MacBook a bit of an outlier. It was thinner and lighter than any computer in Apple’s lineup, but it was severely underpowered compared to the rest of Apple’s lineup.
