MacBook Pro not only "pro"?
Hi! I think ideally the laptop section would be divided in the middle, allowing both MacBook Air and MacBook Pro to take 50% of the consumer column. Right now it looks somewhat strange seeing MacBook Air take so much space, given that isn't so much more a "consumer" computer than MacBook Pro.--Paracel63 (talk) 23:35, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Really? MBAs tend to be a bit underpowered on the CPU side, which "pros" wouldn't accept if they are rendering video or compiling large programs. Kevin chen2003 (talk) 01:25, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I think Paracel63 touches upon an interesting point: why do we make the distinction between consumer and professional? I don't see much evidence that supports this other than the assumption that professional users seek raw CPU power, as opposed to consumers. This completely neglects the fact that the 13" MacBook Pro used to be the entry-level MacBook until it was rebranded (but not technically upgraded) to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro itself comes in a very wide range of price options, the cheapest being very close to a 13" MacBook Air. This suggests to me that the MacBook Pro continues to be an all-purpose machine for consumers and professionals alike. Likewise, the iMac is consistently used by professionals too, whereas the Mac Pro is a niche device. I'd suggest removing the distinction here.—Totie (talk) 21:32, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
