In a demonstration of just how much more important notebooks are to Apple the company today took to the stage at WWDC to refresh all of their portable Macs. Apple gave the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air a minor speed bump as well as releasing a new model of MacBook Pro with a Retina display.
Apple quietly gave the Mac Pro a mild refresh including some newer Intel processors, although they’re still a couple of years old. Unlike the notebooks which gained USB 3.0 support the Mac Pro remains without Thunderbolt or USB 3.0. Neither the iMac nor Mac mini received an update today.

Starting with the MacBook Air Apple SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller introduced the new 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air featuring the latest Core i5 and Core i7 dual-core processors. The new integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 is up to 60 percent faster and gives the MacBook Air plenty of power to tackle games and videos. Along with the new Ivy Bridge processors comes the inclusion of USB 3.0 on the MacBook Air.
The MacBook Air can also now handle up to 8GB of RAM, up from 4GB on the previous model and can be configured with a 512GB SSD. The FaceTime camera has also been updated to 720p.
The 11-inch MacBook Air comes with a 1.7 GHz processor, 4GB of memory and is available with 64GB of flash storage starting at $999 (£849), and 128GB of flash storage starting at $1,099 (£929). The 13-inch MacBook Air comes with a 1.8 GHz processor, 4GB of memory and is available with 128GB of flash storage starting at $1199 (£999), and 256GB of flash storage starting at $1,499 (£1249).

Apple also updated the MacBook Pro with a similar refresh as that of the Air. Packing the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete graphics the MacBook Pro can also be configured with a 1TB hard drive or SSDs up to 512GB that are up to twice as fast as the previous generation. The MacBook Pro also now has USB 3.0 ports and a 720p FaceTime camera.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro is available with a 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of memory and 500GB hard drive starting at $1,199 (£999), and with a 2.9 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of memory and 750GB hard drive starting at $1,499 (£1249). The 15-inch MacBook Pro is available with a 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 4GB of memory, Intel HD Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, and 500GB hard drive starting at $1,799 (£1499); and with a 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of memory, Intel HD Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, and 750GB hard drive starting at $2,199 (£1799).
Apple also took the opportunity to quietly (although mentioned in a Tweet during the keynote) update the AirPort Express. The new AirPort Express features a completely redesigned compact enclosure taking on a similar look to the Apple TV and now has simultaneous dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi. The new Airport Express is priced at $99 (£79)
