Apple Made a Great New MacBook. But That's Not What It Wants You to Buy

On October 30, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced long-awaited updates to the company’s aging Mac mini and MacBook Air, along with a redesigned iPad Pro line. While the Mac mini received a primarily internal update, the MacBook Air received a pretty substantial refresh, with a high-resolution display, smaller footprint, and pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports replacing the older model’s input options. It’s sleek, sharp and comes in three colors.
