12" Retina MacBook revived as first Apple Silicon Mac?!
The 6-year-old MacBook was recently labeled "vintage" by Apple, but its distinct, sharp design still trumps the recent trend toward square shapes. As an older product, the 12-inch MacBook may no longer be repairable, subject to availability of replacement parts. But while this laptop has its flaws, it's still a great machine.
Apple officially discontinued the 12-inch MacBook in 2019, and some users celebrated its demise. Haters hated it for its shallow keyboard and sluggish processor.
Some users even moan that the 12-inch MacBook is not a true laptop due to its shortcomings. But the model still stands out as one of the most portable ways to use the Mac operating system. It was the thinnest Mac Apple had made at about half an inch and the lightest MacBook at 2.04 pounds.
