RE: MBA...its hard to improve on perfection. Cant imagine it being a much better machine than it already is
One of these days I'll convince my wife to let me buy a new MBA....
Although I suppose the new house was enough for this year
Looking forward to Apple continuing to bolster their macbook line. I love the way they've gone (MBA and MBR) and have been coveting a 13inch Air for quite some time. Maybe by the time I'm able to get one, this size reduction will have happened!
Kyle Wiens from iFixIt speculates that the added thinness for the keyboard may help prevent the keyboard leaving residual marks on the screen when the laptop is closed.
yeh the macbook air is far too thick.........
Hahaha, I want to buy one for the wife but she's so uninterested if what she has ('10 MBP 13") still works.
"No, I like my machine ... and I don't want to set everything back up" (obviously I told her about Time Machine and how hassle free it would be).
"Yeah, but this is _lighter_, and it has SSD so it boots and load apps super fast, and the screen has higher resolution!!!"
"Oh, that's OK, you want a new monitor, just go buy yourself that ... "
"Apple will reduce the thickness of light guide plates for the illuminated keyboards in its MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models from 0.4mm currently to 0.25mm in 2013, according to sources in Apple's supply chain."
Tim Cook - "Yeah, we're doubling down on secrecy."
That's a pretty damn specific leak, Tim.
I'm actually afraid of breaking my MBA because of its thinness.
I don't think I could dare to touch it if it was thinner.
making something thinner doesn't bother me, I couldn't care less about that, performance is everything.
Where are the iMac and Mac Pro rumors??
Who cares about the air? There's still no reason for it . . Years have gone by and since it's release, I have yet to find something that puts it in it's own category as far as functionality is concerned. What differentiates it from the crowd?
Seriously. Why did you comment on a rumor that is clearly about the MBA and ask about something else?
You just missed them. They were on their way out as you came in.

Thin and light, more portable than "traditional" laptops. If you are still struggling to find a use for it, then it is obviously not for you.
