If you were hoping for a more straightforward Retina refresh of the Air without the more drastic changes of the Retina MacBook, this is the laptop you should be looking at. Between the performance improvements and battery life gains, the new Pro acts as good alternative to the 13-inch Air rather than a laptop you only buy if you need the extra performance. The design is the same as last year's, and it picks up only a handful of truly new features-Thunderbolt 2 and improved 4K support are probably the biggest ones. We've already compared the Air and the Pro head-to-head, but today we're taking some time to talk about the Pro by itself. Its design is just a couple of years old, and it still makes a strong case for itself next to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Air-alikes that dominate the market for high-end 13-inch laptops.

vintage products don't qualify for repairs at Apple Store and Apple Authorized Service Providers.The 2015 MacBook Air is a bit out-of-step with the times, but the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro doesn't have that problem yet.
