Apple has killed off the Macbook Air 11 inch model

Apple introduced its new MacBook Pro laptop on Thursday. There are actually several models to choose from, including three variations of the 13-inch model and two variations of the 15-inch model. To make room for all of those products, Apple killed off the 11-inch MacBook Air.

It might be missed. While it’s far from the most powerful laptop in the family and still lacked a Retina display, it was also the most affordable laptop. Now, buyers will need to opt for the $1,299 entry-level MacBook. That’s kind of a bummer for students or folks who were looking to get a MacBook without trying to break the bank. My suspicion is that was a huge part of the 11-inch MacBook Air buyer base.

RIP 11-inch MacBook Air.
