So I realize that the new macOS was announced over 2 months ago but I feel the need to still write this...

I feel we need to recognize the 2015-2017 12-inch MacBook as the laptop that paved the way for future Apple M series laptops. This MacBook model was and still is one of the thinnest and lightest models Apple ever made. While most would call me crazy the butterfly keyboard (Which was introduced with this laptop in 2015) is still a very nice keyboard especially if you don't like a lot of travel (and assuming yours didn't break). The best way I can describe it is like clicky buttons. The 12-inch MacBook also had a beautiful 1440p retina display which still looks great to this day (Compared to my friend's school Chromebooks this baby rocks!). Most judged this machine for its poor performance and terrible butterfly keyboard. Honestly, I think this laptop was ahead of its time in terms of performance. Most had low-end Intel M-Series Processors and the high-end ones had Intel i5 and i7 processors. The 12-inch MacBook has no fan meaning that a non-optimized x86 Intel chip would run very hot and thermal throttle. Another thing people didn't like was the port selection. This machine had one and yes ONLY one USB-C port (Non-Thunderbolt capable) and one headphone jack. While some people didn't like this at the time, this is how most laptops are nowadays with a limited port selection and you usually need to carry around a dongle. But considering these things I still look back at this laptop as ahead of its time. While the butterfly keyboard didn't work out in the end, it still was an interesting design that allowed laptops to get thinner. If this laptop had received the M1 or M2 chip the performance would have been way better I think. And while in 2015 one Type-C port was unacceptable on a laptop, today it's not surprising to see a laptop with only a couple of ports. The last version of this Macbook (That being the 2017 one...) is not going to be supported in macOS Sonoma. I really wish Apple would bring back this design with something like an M1. But they won't since the 13-inch MacBook AIR now has the M1/M2 chips and took a lot of the good from this machine and fixed all the issues so really the new 13-inch MacBook AIR is the new 12-inch MacBook.

For everyone wondering yes I am writing this on my 2017 12-inch MacBook with i5 processor (So yea I might be biased). 

Thank You for reading this and I hope everyone will remember the 2015-2017 12-inch MacBook.
