I think we seriously might see a fanless Macbook Air redesign in summer 2014.
Instead of spinning fans, Apple will use something called Dual Piezoelectric Cooling Jets (DCJ), an invention by General Electric, I also think that Lenovo is already planning a ThinkPad with that cooling system.
For those of you who have never heard of this technology you might be interested to see this short video and this article by Engadget.
Lenovo is currently prototyping/testing a ultra slim ThinkPad with the codename ThinkPad 9 Slim and Apple would want to make sure to be competing with a slim laptop like that.
I'm really excited for this technology to be build into Laptops and maybe Desktops. Since SSDs became widespread cooling fans have become the single mechanical thing that can be quite noisy.
GE has already partnered with Texas Instruments to manufacture the cooling jets for consumer products
