And then we get to laugh at you if the Apple Watch turns out to be a success. deal?
Success or not, I do find the frustration of having to deal with a 2" display on a wrist rather than just pulling out a phone laughable. I suppose there are some very specific circumstances where pulling out a phone is not an option, but the majority of people who want the Watch don't want it just because of that.
You must have a pretty sad life to laugh at someone for buying something they want
I do! They can just take the current 13" and make it bezel-less. Easily keeps the same form factor!
I wonder what the prices will be for the MBA12 and iPad Pro 12.2
And weight after you add a keyboard case the the iPad Pro
This may make the MBA 12 (or 11) the poor mans hybrid. The SP3 competitor, as whats the diff between an SP3 with keyboard and a MBA with keyboard? Full OS.
Seems to me like Toyota selling 1.5 litre 4 door, and a 1.6 and a 1.7
OTOH if I want to spend $x does it matter if I buy a MBA 12 or an iPad Pro? Margin either way. More choice I guess
I highly doubt this rumored event will have anything that makes it worth watching.
Been disappointed with keynotes consistently since Steve died.
I'll catch the highlights here if and when it happens.

Give me a gold one with BLACK keys.
White keys aren't even worth backlighting, and they get grungy. (Same goes for Apple's desktop keyboards. Black already please!)
(I REALLY hope it still has backlit keys. It's a luxury that might be lost--as with the 1st gen Air--for thinness/battery life.)

Why wouldn't that be the case? The iPad Retina already exists. Presumably this new laptop will basically be an iPad Retina with a keyboard/trackpad instead of a touch screen, OS X instead of iOS, and Intel instead of ARM.
Just give me. MBA 13' in the form factor of MBA 11'.
Don't even need to be thinner, instead, give me a bigger battery (need that for the drains of retina)
THAT IS IT. Don't mess with the ports.

That's fine, but I really hope the mockup is accurate and Apple at least gives us the option for white keys to match up with the Apple keyboard. Drives the OCD in me crazy.
Really hope we finally get the Photos app for Mac. So tired of waiting to decide which way to go off the very vague info available about it. At least give us a proper, in depth demonstration of what it will do. They say it will fill the void left by Aperture, and before I move to Lightroom out of lack of options I'd really like to at least see. What is available looks like it won't be much more useful than "Preview" let alone filling the void left by Aperture.
It'll be nice to see the other stuff too but I really hope this happens. Can't understand why they didn't get it ready BEFORE killing Aperture and releasing Yosemite. REALLY can't understand how they are still in good conscience charging people for Aperture knowing they made the horrid mistake of killing it and will not be updating it, meaning these people are blowing the better part of $100.

You could ask the author Jordan Kahn and/or contributor Mark Gurman. Presumably one of their sources needed to know.
Air isn't so special anymore with really thin retina MacBook Pros that have huge battery life. I am curious to see how the differentiate the Air now, though.[/QUOTE]
I am really hoping for hardware innovation, something to really bring back the awe factor. And having a gold colour laptop would be super innovative and differentiate it from the pro line
(just kidding, I would puke)
