So there will be a whole new cluster of people wondering why one MacBook Pro is so "affordable" ($1,299), and then a $700 jump up to a completely different set of MacBook Pros, starting at $1,999, with different screen sizes, body designs, ports, etc.

"But how 'pro' can this smaller, less-equipped $1,299 model be? Seems like just a regular, mid-range 'MacBook' to me. Beefier and more capable than the Air, but not quite true 'Pro' level...".
It's such a small thing but surely they aren't happy about this weird Air/NotReallyPro/Pro thing. They'd much rather have the Air to be the mid-range, like on the iPad, surely?
