what's up guys John rettinger here soon yesterday during the first day of Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference also known as WWDC Apple did something that surprised a lot of people me included they rebranded their line of laptops in case you didn't see my recap or happen to watch the conference what they did was they took the 13 inch aluminum macbook model up to the specs and are now calling it macbook pro so really anything that was aluminum before that wasn't a macbook air it's now under the macbook pro family the only remaining macbook now is the plastic model there still is the macbook air line as i mentioned this doesn't affect any of the desktops line it was only with the laptops and i found this to be a very interesting rebrand apple generally is a very protective other brand name and the brand image they spend so much time cultivating and growing that macbook name that it seems very suspicious that they would essentially abandon it and put the macbook pro moniker on all devices while the new 13-inch macbook pros certainly are pro ready with the addition of SD card firewire and really fantastic specs the remaining macbook is the outdated design of the plastic model and it seems to me that Apple is opening the door for something new to slot in under the macbook name I think that product that's coming that's going to slot in to that macbook it's going to be this new tablet that's going to run for quite a while possibly a 10 inch touchscreen Apple spent too much time building that macbook name to really do some band in it and I think there's some big product coming it's going to fill that niche and I definitely think it's going to be a non physical keyboard device maybe a 13 inch tablet maybe a 10-inch lakes been reported some sort of netbook esque device we're going to see a completely brand of the former macbook line the plastic model i think is certainly going to be short for this world there have been rumors swirling that Steve Jobs was waiting for a comeback at the end of June and wanted to do it a grand product announcement I think this really could be the ideal way between now I mandame gingers a couple weeks there's not that much time for the macbook name to be tarnished or forgotten and in the June would be perfect timing to really resurrect I suppose now that macbook a name so what do you guys think do you think that Apple is segmenting the products to open the door to a new generation sort of lower end macbook coming in at maybe to six seven hundred dollar price point you think I'm way off they think that they're just going to keep the plastic model it's going to say the plastic model I'm just going to be the aluminum macbook pros and the MacBook Airs you know and while we're talking about the macbook macbook pro specs I want to talk for a minute about the macbook air it did get a spec bump and a significant price drop on the SSD model actually dropped seven hundred dollars but what apple didn't do was replace the black bezel to match their other laptops they didn't give it the full glass multi-touch clicky trackpad it so has a button so what do you guys think about that does it look like apples phasing out the macbook air was it just incremental upgrade before a big you know big overhaul come soon you know I tend to think that this is sort of a minor facelift before a big update comes you gotta put too much rd into the macbook air to abandon it right now certainly the lower price point makes it much more appealing and i think it will gain market share so guys what do you think about all these points so wanted your opinion leave your comments down below and i will see you guys in the next video for exclusive content be sure to check me out on twitter twitter com / John for lakers see you guys the next 10 x
