Apple Predicted to Release Ultra-Slim 12-Inch MacBook with Retina Display in Mid-2014

Mac OS already supports touchpad and gestures, its all integrated.

Visualize your Trackpad, except it's just the whole screen of your device.

Book it.

They wouldn't have to change a thing.

Without getting into too much detail, this new MBA will indeed run on a A8 processor, will have close to 24 battery life, will be thinner than the current MBA, and will be released at WWDC next year.

what does he mean by "Clamshell form factor?"

How about this + 17" rMBP, and get rid of the cMBPs and 13" rMBP

Are you kidding me? I want them to have +17 RMBP too, but to propose that they get rid of the 13" makes you look like a fool.

I really wouldn't see any reason for a 13" rMBP if their was a lighter, cheaper version available. Just my opinion.

For people like me who use heavy applications like Final Cut Pro... I just got the maxed out 13 inch retina and I could have just a maxed out 15", but size was a huge deciding factor because of the fact that I am always on the move and the laptop is always either on my lap or in my bag being carried

I think a 15" rMBP air would be awesome. I love the bigger screen, but hate the weight and thickness. I mean do a ULV processor and obviously make it as strong as MBA but with a little umph to power the retina and that would be awesome!

MacBook Air is getting retina screen, it's a given. It will happen as soon as technology available which seems to be next year. 11 inch MacBook Air bezel can easily fit 12 inch screen. Lighter than MBA will make it a winner!
I'm returning 13 inch rmbp because it is whole pound heavier than my sony ultraportable with same screen size.

I flew with my MBP13 in coach a couple times recently, and that thing barely fits on the seat tray… can't imagine trying to use a 15"...

Retina Display??

I for one, would also love to see a MacBook Air with Retina Display...the only problem is for Mister Timmy Cook is that he won't be able to use his favourite catch phrase (Thinner. Faster. Lighter.) anymore. LOL
But a 12 inch MacBook Air doesn't seem fitting enough to be part of the picture...

 

[Naimfan]

I suspect a 12" retina Air would lead Apple to drop the the 11" and 13" Airs, leaving the 12" Air and 13" and 15" sizes for the Macbook Pro.

 

[Appl3FTW]

What happened to this one? 12" MBP?

I think it's safe to say that another rumour has tanked
