All in the family

The new MacBook 16 is a sweet machine.  It is a complete compromise and that's exactly what it should be.  The keyboard is almost as nice as a desktop, the screen is big but it is still highly portable.  Apple is embracing this machine as a workhorse for pros.  The compromise was achieved by a return to a successful form and that "backtracking" is also good.  The 2011-2015 design is brilliant and I'm glad to see it back.

The old 17" versus the box for the new 16"


17" engulfs the 16" screen AND bezel. The 17" is just a much bigger screen.
The new MacBook 16 is a nice upgrade from the old MacBook 15.  The screen is bigger but the machine has been trimmed up.  This release basically erases the last generation of MacBooks.  It will be interesting to see what the next Air and MacBook 13 look like.
