04 pounds less than my 13-inch MacBook Pro but 1.5 pounds more than the 13-inch MacBook Air. (To the naked eye, the thickest part of the MacBook Air actually looks thicker than the new MacBook Pro.) That thinness also makes it much lighter than the other Pros. It is only slightly (very slightly!) thicker than the MacBook Air and a handful of other Windows 7 ultrabooks on the market. The new MacBook Pro has one major change, though - it's much thinner than previous Pros. They haven't wanted to mess with such a well-balanced, clean design. Apple hasn't changed the general aesthetic of the MacBook Pro line since 2008, when it introduced the unibody aluminum design with a glowing Apple embedded in the lid.
'This is the most beautiful MacBook Pro we've ever made,' Apple's Phil Schiller said when he took a curtain off the new laptop this week.
