    12-inch MacBook has been updated with Skylake, improved graphics, faster storage and an extra hour of battery life. It is also now available in rose gold.

    And the 13-inch Air now comes with 8GB of RAM but is otherwise unchanged.

    Have the 2015 model. Runs very well for my usage. Nothing in this to make an upgrade worthwhile for me really. Better CPU & GPU would be nice along with the extra hour of battery but a bit underwhelming overall.

    480p FaceTime camera still! :o

    I wonder how long it'll be before they migrate the 12" to i-series processors and kill off the Airs. The whole line needs a serious redesign at this stage, I've an original 2008 Unibody 13" Macbook at home and placed beside my current 2016 13" Macbook Pro there's little in the difference design wise.

    Redesigned MacBooks Pros (slimmer and more in the style of the 12-inch) are rumoured for WWDC.

    Yeah, a slimmer MBP. That's too big for a silent update, so probably at WWDC.
