If you're an Apple fanboy, then you probably know that the MacBook has been discontinued for quite some time now, since 2011. No, I'm not talking about the MacBook Air, or the MacBook Pro. I'm talking about the classic white MacBook. You know the ones you always saw in schools, colleges, and in the hands of many teenagers in Starbucks? Yeah, that one.
No one really knows why Apple discontinued this product, but many people, such as myself, would like to know when, and if, we're going to see it again. After all, it was the cheapest MacBook that Apple sold ($999), and it was a pretty good bang for your buck.
Right now, if you wanted to buy the cheapest MacBook that they make, straight from the Apple Store, you'd still be looking at a $999 price tag. What are you getting? A 11-inch MacBook Air. No, it's not a bad computer, but what if 11 inches is too small for you? What about a 13 inch model? You're looking at a couple hundred extra dollars.
That's exactly the problem. Right now, as the line-up stands, there's no 13-inch MacBook for the entry level price of $999 (entry level for Apple). This may not sound like a big problem, but it surely affects many consumers.
I'm sure there are countless consumers that were looking to get a full sized 13 inch notebook, preferably a Macbook. But, that 11 inch screen just didn't cut it for them. More than likely, it drove them into the hands of another brand.
