argh correct
I meant screen size.
Its just all over the web mostly people are comparing the pixel to the Air.
I think that's mostly because of the price and the 1.8Ghz low voltage CPU.
It's actually closer to the Macbook Pro in weight.

Here's a quick mockup of how I think the 2013 Air may look, with the antiglare glass screen (but not necessarily retina resolution):
Is it a given that they will drop the silver bezel?
i would be shocked if they changed to a new charger so quickly
Safe bets can be:
Better CPU (Haswell maybe)
Big SSD stock
Not so safe:
Faster SSD
Better GPU
Unlikeky:
Retina display
Touch capability
What will the 2013 Macbook Air wow us with?
I think it'll have an internal optical drive!
C'mon, IMNSHO this is a no-brainer as in 99% of the cases a laptop design can be surmised from the tech which is out there.
CPU/GPU? The next iteration MBA will have haswell only if Apple makes us wait for it - if an update comes out before that, expect only a minor speed bump.
I do not expect a retina as standard (differentiation, pricing), but I think a BTO-option would not be out of the question. The HW would definitely support it.
Display type? IPS could be a possibility.
Touchscreen? Gimme a break.
Connectivity? What is there to offer? The MBA already is on the highest level, but I'm sure someone could add some ports (which Apple won't do)
Storage? Sure, prices have come down, but not enough to double the capasities while keeping the same price points. Also the basic amounts are currently suitable for most, so I'd rather expect Apple to lower prices than bump storage.
Sadly (for us rumormongers), given the state of components, the only radical thing Apple could do with the MBA lineup is to add another member to the family - the long rumored 15" MBA (which some could say would still have a niche to fill), but I do not expect it...
Honestly, the current MBA lineup is as close to perfect as it can get. The Apple announcement-machine has to focus on other areas for a while (Mac Pro, please)
