One of Apple’s Best Ideas Ever — Made Worse
I think that came with the switch to unibody, so for some Macs in 2008.

The plastic MacBooks never had latches. Not sure about the iBooks, but possibly they did too - at least, post clamshell.

just for the record (very late, wow) the first laptops to ditch the latch iirc were the original iBooks, the "toilet seat" macs.

My wife's non-unibody MacBook (not pro) from '06 also has no latch.

I want to say MacBooks don’t count (always the sucky and worthless Macs), but I guess they do. So it started there. But the MacBook Pro definitely had latches until 2008, so for the Pro line what I said is completely true.
