MacBook Ultra could be very good news for MacBook Pro users

Apple is reportedly considering renaming its next MacBook Pro redesign the MacBook Ultra.

That could let the current MacBook Pro stay on sale unchanged, keeping its pro-friendly focus on ports and performance.

The new Ultra model may be thinner, lighter, and more experimental, with features like a touch screen.

The split would give Apple more room to take risks without repeating past MacBook redesign missteps.
