Too bad. That was a really cute laptop. Perfect for travelling. Maybe they are secretly working on a redesign to replace that.

I am surprised as well by the move but it does make sense as both models do canabalize each other's sales. I used to have the 12-inch and totally agree that it was the ultimate portable machine. Absolutely loved how slim and light it was.

yes. in terms of portability, it is the best.

i dun think they are going to do any redesign. i think they killed it becos the market for this model is too niche. too expensive.
if they are going to redesign, they will keep it like macbook air last time.

there is no macbook pro 12-inch, it is macbook 12-inch.

solid wise to be frank, it is similar. but both macbook 12-inch and macbook air are having a 'wedge' shape while macbook pro is equal size for all edges which to me it looks better.

Well, in case anyone is looking, I would like to sell mine.

Retina 12 inch, 2016 model, Space Grey
1.2 Ghz M5
8GB 1869 Mhz
Intel HD Graphics 515 1536 MB
500GB Flash Storage
Bought from Machines

After bringing it to Scandinavia for my Northern Light hunt end 2016, hardly ever use it as I have another Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Still in excellent condition.

So, if anyone is looking, let me know.

Yes, it indeed is a great balance of size, weight and mobility. Fits into my camera gear bag with ease and great batt life.
