I don't have a portable and so never was interested in all the MacBook related tags.
However a question came up in the suggested edit queue where macbook-pro was definitely the wrong tag as macbook-air would be better.
However I then discovered that they were all synonymized to the same tag. Which is a reasonable solution.
What is not reasonable is that this tag is macbook-pro; surely macbook should be the tag that is shown and selectable as people who have an air definitely don't have a pro and so would not search for it or look at questions tagged macbook-pro.

not appear?macbook-pro
tag to a question about an MacBook Air, but then noticed that they are synonyms.macbook
would definitely be the better (and less confusing) tag that all othermacbook-*
tags are redirected to.
