When I pull my 12-inch MacBook out of my backpack, I feel like a samurai unsheathing a katana.
12" Retina MacBook REVIVAL as first Apple Silicon Mac?!
The 6-year-old MacBook was recently labeled "vintage" by Apple, but its striking, sharp design still bucks the latest trend toward square shapes. As an older product, the 12-inch MacBook may be beyond repair, depending on the availability of parts. But while this laptop has its flaws, it's still a fantastic machine.
Apple officially discontinued the 12-inch MacBook in 2019, and some users celebrated its demise. Haters hated it for its shallow keyboard and slow processor.
Some users even complain that the 12-inch MacBook isn’t a real laptop because of its shortcomings. But the model is still one of the most portable ways to use the Mac operating system. It was the thinnest Mac Apple had ever made at about a half-inch, and the lightest MacBook at 2.04 pounds.
