The new Pro feels considerably heavier than the Air and not that much lighter than the old Pro. That's just over a pound less than the full-sized MacBook Pro and about 1.5 pounds more than the 13-inch Air. Those figures compare quite favorably to the old 15-incher (at 0.95 inches thick) and it's very nearly as thin as the Air, which is 0.68 inches at its thickest. That thickness measures in at 0.71 inches (1.8cm) while the width is 14.13 inches (35.89cm) and the depth is 9.73 inches (24.71cm). Still, it doesn't take long to spot the thinness - or the lack of the slot-loading optical drive on the right. With both closed, at a quick glance you would almost not notice there's anything different between this new Pro and the also-new-but-yet-old one. When physically placed between the 13-inch MacBook Air and the 15-inch Pro, it's clear that this new guy (who, for now, is simply called "MacBook Pro with Retina display") leans far toward the latter when it comes to design. Is this, then, a laptop that's all things to all people, the "best Mac ever" as it was called repeatedly in the keynote? Or, is it more of a compromised, misguided attempt at demanding too much from one product? Let's find out.%Gallery-158164% It cleanly slides in between these two top-shelf products, while trying to be simultaneously serious and fast, yet slim and light. Now, a new player enters the fray: the MacBook Pro with Retina display. Meanwhile, the MacBook Air is among the best (if not conclusively the best) thin-and-light laptops on the market.

The company's MacBook Pro line is one of the most respected in the industry for those who need an ostensibly professional laptop. That's exactly what Apple is trying to do here. It happens all the time, sometimes over the course of just a year or two (see: netbooks) and, while companies have made billions by establishing truly new categories, rarely has anybody rocked the world by splitting the difference between two very closely aligned ones. Product categories come and go, grow and wither, revolutionize the world and then slowly fade into a state of cold, quiet, everlasting obsolescence.
