It seems we're pretty confident a 14" MBP is in the works. Do you think we'll ever see a 14" Macbook Air?
Got a tip for us?

14" Macbook Air - Thoughts?

If they keep the same footprint and use a 14" Micro-LED and smaller bezels, then maybe.
I'd imagine it's the next step for the Air & Pro. Perhaps with FaceID as well.

Eventually they might, I think the lineup will be due a rationalisation once all of the models have made the switch. For the next couple of years the 14" will probably exclusively be the $1,799 (4 port) Pro though.
If they were to reduce bezels, I would much rather see a smaller, lighter machine with the same display size.
With reduced bezels, a full size keyboard barely fits even with 13". I definitely wouldn't want scaled down or crammed keys.
I was thinking the size of the 2015-2017 12" MacBook, but I guess that one has some good size bezels which helps increase keyboard size. So yeah it might be more like iPad size keyboard if the bezels were reduced, but I think that would be OK with me. However, there are creative ways to keep the keyboard full size for example by decreasing the size of the ENTER, TAB, and SHIFT keys and other keys along the left and right sides of the keyboard.

I guess they could just shrink the 12" form factor only in height, just like the XPS has done. But then that reduces the area for the mouse and large mouse pad is kind of nice too.
14.1" MBA would be ideal. I'd love one.
MBP and MBA should be different in that all MBP should have 4 ports, and all MBP should be a noticeable jump in performance over the MBA, the relatively smaller jump (it isn't a jump) to the current 13" MBP model should not exist.
