The new MacBook pro series in a really weird spot. Launched at this year's WWDC almost as an afterthought -- it got exactly 1 minute and 32 second of stage time (yes I timed it) -- it brings back the same design and exterior hardware as its last two predecessors, which would be no big deal were it not for the fact that Apple had already transitioned last year to a new MacBook design language with thinner bezels wrapping around a better display, the return of the MagSafe charging port, and an improved webcam. In fact, at the same event Apple also launched a MacBook Air with that new design (the Air got nearly six minutes of stage time, by the way).
