Apple officially axes 17-inch MacBook Pro from notebook lineup

After introducing the next generation 15.4-inch MacBook Pro, complete with Retina Display and an all-new thin design, Apple took down the 17-inch version of its laptop from its online store, effectively killing off the large desktop replacement.

Although no official announcement was made during Apple’s WWDC keynote on Monday, the disappearance of the 17-inch MacBook Pro from the company’s online store can be taken as confirmation that the large-screened notebook has reached end-of-life.
