(In fact, Apple hasn't significantly redesigned the MBA since circa 2010 and it appears headed for extinction, replaced by the 12-inch MacBook and MacBook Pro). Winner: MacBook Pro 13. Note that the MacBook Pro 13 (mid-2017) is well designed and has top-notch quality and I would recommend it highly. Addendum — audio: The MacBook Pro 13 wins handily on audio. Addendum — 12-inch MacBook: Some readers may believe it's better to compare the 12.3-inch Pixelbook to the 12-inch MacBook.
