The original Air is a little different, because it was a separate product line marketed to people who valued portability above performance, with the MacBook Pro catering to the reverse. Recent iPhones are like if they'd announced the Air and then canceled all their other laptops.
The new MBP is like the Air: a whole bunch of unproven assumptions in a new product category. They should've called it the Macbook Touch and let people decide for themselves if they wanted to give up on ports, keys and magsafe. The 2015 MBP remains an amazing machine.
