Honestly the MacBook Pro feels like a massive mod edit you from Apple. It still has a 720p camera so what makes it pro compared to the air which has features that are actually useful day to day? The touchbar? Honestly a joke move from Apple as I was expecting a redesign for both

$1300...When I was in college that money got an AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82 (2.20GHz), 4GB Memory, 320GB HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3850, with a 1680x1050 resolution screen, and a battery life so short it took 3 batteries to get though most of a day...

CPU and RAM configurations possible really, only the new one has the bar again, and it has more ports for higher data bandwidth transfer.

Although to be fair to Apple, Pros usually don't use the built in camera, and you're right, for most users the Air makes more sense right now, it will absolutely be very popular.

Can we just get some damn ports on these things?

What ports do you need?

It's amazing how hard Apple's marketing is working to try and hide the fact that the Macbook air's screen has clipped corners has a giant, offensively-ugly notch for the camera. In over half of the publicity photos, they literally are just drawing a black bar across it so it looks like the top of the screen is just a bezel. So even Apples photoshop experts understand that people would rather have an overall smaller screen than one with parts of it missing.
Plus, the base model MacBook Air is still in the "worse than a phone" tier of 8GB memory, and 256GB storage, despite a 20% price hike. This is an absolute embarrassment from a company that is actively trying to market its silicon as "high tech".

I also want to point out that Apple's web design is some of the worst I've ever seen. When you try to scroll down the page, it just animates a slideshow full of ultra-close images and giant text, neither of which can fit on the screen. It's like being lost in a maze, the relevant information impossible to find. It makes me tense in the back of the neck just to look at it.

Not that any of this is worth complaining about. Macbooks are basically the 'Zune' of computers, so I'll never have to worry about ever seeing one out in the wild.

What ports do you need?

All those fun ports that are completely essential for creative people to do work.
Things like USB-A, HDMI, DP, Ethernet, Line Audio. Probably a Memory card reader, if you work in photo/video.
Even if you can accept the limitations of being forced to use a USB-C adapter dongle for everything - this laptop only has 2 USB-C ports, and I'm reasonably certain Apple doesn't sell a Macbook dock. So you're going to have to make some hard choices when you're sitting at your desk trying to figure out what combination of mouse, keyboard, monitor, and iphone get to be plugged in today.
If you don't need ports, then why even buy a laptop? Content consumption and zoom will work just fine on your phone.

The Midnight color on the new Air looks absolutely sick.
