Why there is no 14 inch model for mac?

I wonder why there is no 14 inch model for mac? There is 13.3, 15.4, 17inch model

 

Generally for the same reason there isn't currently a 12" model. When Apple first introduced widescreen laptops, they moved from standard 14" laptops to 15.4" widescreen laptops (and eventually 17" widescreen laptops).

When the MacBook was introduced as a replacement for the iBook line (which had been available still in both standard 12 and 14" screen sizes), it had a widescreen 13.3" display as well.

So the last 14" laptops Apple made were the old 14" PowerBook G3's, and the 14" iBook.

Apple generally has tried to keep their product lines fairly simple in terms of variety of configurations, and right now at least there isn't specifically any room in the product line for either a 14" MacBook Pro or a 14" MacBook.

 

have a lot of different models available kills what Apple has going for them, whit a small amount of computers they can just focus on what they have, and don't have to deal with as much when it comes to customer service, so in the end customer service is much more efficient, not to mention, it makes peoples decisions so much simpler, especially when people just realize that having a 14" model when you already have one that is less than an inch difference in size, doesn't make too much since.

like he said ^^^^

 

Just to note, the 15.4" MBP is the same size as, or smaller, than most 14" laptops.

 

This is only in terms of thickness & maybe weight. A notebook with a screen size of 14" is what I would consider perfect. Somehow a 15" notebook feels too big & a 13" notebook feels a little too small, 14" feels just about right. Another thing is, with a 14" notebook it is easier for the manufacturer to shuv in some powerful components whilst keeping it portable than with a 13" notebook withouth making it too thick. A Macbook (Pro) with a 14" screen is what Apple needs to work on soon.
The different types/variations of notebooks Apple offers as compared to ANY other manufacturer is almost nothing. So, quite honestly, adding a 12" & a 14" notebook should not hurt the kind of customer service you receive, definitely not if the brand boasts how good their customer service is.

 

I just still am not sure what the real point of the 14" machine would be. As it is, the difference in footprint between the 13.3" MacBook and 15.4" MacBook Pro isn't all that big. If you stuck a 14" model into the product line, it would be only slightly smaller than the MBP and only slightly bigger than the MB.

I was just looking at the 14" Inspiron 1420 at the Dell Kiosk (or at least the dummy model), and it frankly didn't seem like it was noticeably smaller than a 15.4" MBP in terms of footprint, and definitely not in thickness or weight.

 

Well, who said Dell is perfect?
A 15" notebook should be about 5 - 6 lbs. (1" - 1.4" thick)
A 14" notebook should be about 4 - 5 lbs. (0.9" - 1.2" thick)
A 13" notebook should be about <4lbs. (0.8" - 1.0" thick)

A 14" notebook is basically an option for a people who do not want to sacrifice much performance but still want to maintain portability. It is rather difficult to keep a 13" notebook thin & powerful, you will have to sacrifice somewhere, this is where the 14" notebook would make things easier. With a 14" notebook people are ready to accept a slightly thicker/heavier notebook but they would not like to see much of a performance decrease from the 15" notebooks. The Inspiron 1420 should offer a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics card, yet it doesn't. The Dell XPS M1330 does offer a sleek-thin-light-powerful notebook but hell it's very very expensive. That is more like a one of a kind notebook, I haven't seen any others out there with the same screen & same specs (w/ dedicated gfx card). Carry around a 14" notebook in your backpack for a week, then carry around a 15" notebook-not Dell Inspirons please. You will definitely feel a difference.
