Exactly. I had this MacBook. It is legendary, they made it at a great price point with most of the qualities and features of the more expensive Pros of the time. It didn't last long, they axed it the next year, figuring they were leaving money on the table. Its weakness was the terrible iGPU in the Intel chip, you couldn't do much serious graphical work with it until you would get the spinner of doom.
I think this is really "peak Apple" era. Most stuff they did after Jobs death is re-heated or poorly designed/conceived.
Apple is just a luxury brand nowadays because they have lost focus on the user, it's a bit maddening that they are getting so rich from it but I guess that's how it is...
