While the 2016 Apple MacBook Air has yet to come out of the retail markets, speculations are rife that it could be the last offering in the American tech giant’s notebook line.
According to analysts, the Apple MacBook line has too many products that compete against each other which is the main reason why the American tech giant gets an overall poor sales result from it.
With the release of the Apple iPad Pro last month, many believe that it is about time for the Cupertino-based tech company to do some streamlining of its MacBook line.
According to Carolina Milanesi, chief of research and head of US business for Kantar World Panel Comtech, the 2016 MacBook Air should not be around much longer than it should.
She adds that all notebooks need to be more mobile so something like the MacBook Air does not need to be branched out anymore. She also says that Apple will benefit if it does not have so many families of Macs.
That assessment has resulted to rumors that the upcoming 2016 Apple MacBook Air could be the last of the notebook line because Apple wants to give priority to the iPad Pro. After all, the two mobile products practically have the same function and usability while on the go.
