This year's lineup of Apple MacBooks remains split down the middle between thinner MacBook Airs and thicker MacBook Pros, both of which retain the same look as 2011 -- and, for that matter, 2010. Newly upgraded third-gen Intel processors, Nvidia graphics, and new ports like USB 3.0 are the chief new and notable additions, as well as price drops in the MacBook Air line.
A newcomer has also been added at the flagship high-end desktop-replacement level: theRetina Display 15-inch MacBook Pro, a completely redesigned laptop that functions as a fusion between beefier high-end systems and thinner laptops like the Air. At $2,199, it's priced to replace the 17-inch MacBook Pro.

Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina Display
The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed.

Apple MacBook Air (summer 2012)
The 2012 updates to the MacBook Air line don't change anything cosmetically, but add USB 3.0 and new third-gen Intel Core i-series processors with better integrated graphics. The 64GB $999 11-inch Air has 4GB of RAM instead of 2GB, but the other 11- and 13-inch Airs all cost $100 less than last year with similar flash storage and RAM specs. A new 512GB SSD upgrade option has also been added.

Apple MacBook Pro (summer 2012)
Just like the MacBook Airs, the 13 and 15-inch non-Retina Display MacBook Pros retain the same unibody look as before, but with new Intel third-gen processors. The 13-inch Pro has improved integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics, while the 15-inch Pro has improved Nvidia graphics. DVD drives still remain, and USB 3.0 ports have been added. Prices remain the same for the entry-level models.
