If they keep their existing ones, they will have 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 inch laptops. That seems a bit inefficient from a manufacturing standpoint, doesn't it?

Apple changed the 13” and 15” MacBook Pros to 14” and 16” when they did their first redesign after introducing Apple Silicon. They kept one low-cost 13” model around using the old unibody Touch Bar design. They haven’t made a 17” MacBook Pro since 2009.

So right now it’s just 13”, 14”, and 16”. Two modern chassis and a legacy chassis taking advantage of existing manufacturing capabilities.

13 and 15 are air 14 and 16 are pros.

They released a 15 air this year. Frankly I would love a 11-12 MacBook.

Ah yeah, I hadn’t considered they meant across Apple’s entire laptop offerings.

It’s still a slightly odd observation to make. Apple’s famous in the industry for having a streamlined catalog. Most PC vendors have 4-5 brands/lines with 4-5 chassis in each.

They haven't made 17" laptops in years.
