The Next MacBook Pro

Marco weighs in on the future of Apple’s portable lineup:

I’m predicting the next 15” to be, effectively, the halfway point between the current one and what you’d expect a 15” Air to be.

I have little doubt that this is the future of the 15”, but I do think it’s risky to predict it now. Apple always kills off old technology and moves forward a little too soon for some people’s comfort (which usually works out very well), but this is a major change, and it might be too much at once.

He also thinks the 13-inch MacBook Pro will disappear¹ and only the 17-inch MacBook Pro and white plastic MacBook will retain SuperDrives.
