Great analysis
The key question in the Mac line-up is what happens going forward to the MacBook Pro 13. Either is gets discontinued, or gets a major update to bring it in-line with the 14” and 16”. I think it gets axed. I think the screen size difference between it and the 14” is too small to justify its existence.
If Apple does discontinue it, I see them expanding the price range of the MacBook Air. In this scenario, the main problem is starting prices of $999 (Air), $1,999 (MBP 14), and $2,499 (MBP 16). There is is a huge ($1,000) gap between the starting price of the Air and the 14”. One possibility is Apple introducing a Air 15” priced at something like $1,299 or $1,499. Main idea being offering two different size Air screen sizes
