Stemming from complaints filed by Dell with the Better Business Bureau’s advertising division, Apple has started calling its fleet of MacBooks “the world’s greenest lineup of notebooks” as opposed to “the world’s greenest family of notebooks” What’s the difference between a ‘lineup’ and a ‘family’?
