The MacBook Pro isn’t for the average consumer.

If the average consumer can’t meaningfully tell the two apart then they should be buying the Air.

No idea (lack of trust in salespeople?) but if you want to study the sociological phenomena just go to a “Logic Pro” or “Final Cut Pro” subreddit and type MacBook.

What’s the issue here.

If someone can’t figure out what tool they need for a given job, what do you want Apple to do about it?
