For about 10 years now, Apple has been trying to go with a theme when naming its products. For all its mobile devices and some of its computers, it uses the iDevice naming convention.

When you first buy your computer, it runs well. Most people would buy the best computer that they can afford, and so it has the best specs that they were able to get at the time.
