Boy! MBA not out for even 12 hours and asking about next year.

Sounds like a kid at Christmas asking what's he getting next year.

Live in the now, man! ;)

I live in the now. And it just so happens that the now is me on a macrumors site, and there's nothing to rumor about the Air except for... the next refresh! :D
 
2012 MBA will get these amazing new features:

-FaceTime HD camera
-SDXC card reader

Wow, I can't wait!
 
I predict 16gb of RAM, 1TB SSD, backlit trackpad, Ivy Bridge Pocessor, and a small weight increase (all standard of course) for the 2012 MBA.
 
Actually I've heard the Air will be replaced by a new Macbook Helium. So light it actually hovers above your lap. It also use a new poison ivy bridge which automatically eradicates anyone that tried to steal it. There will also be two Thunderbolt ports, and a new LightingBolt port that opens a worm whole into Steve Jobs mind. It's RAM is actually in the cloud (its called ThunderCloud), and it boots so fast you can't even hold down the option key in time to dual boot if you wanted to. One time they left one unattended and it ended up knocking up an iPad 3 and an iPhone5. They had tiny baby laptops. If you hold it sideways, it turns invisible. If you look at it too long it will seer the image of an Apple Logo into your retina. I actually have a prototype one, but if I showed it to you it would kill me with its powerful built-in laser. It runs iMacOS which is a new hybrid OS that was written completely in subjective C. And all of that will cost you just $999 and the cost of a gallon of apple kool-aid.

Oh, and you can actually download it from the new online mac hardware store.
 
Strange folks.... Why always speculating about the next version? Be happy what you get now. The MBA 11" 2017 model with intel 24 core i12 with 2 Pentabyte Flash Storage at 10GB/sec will be much better than the 2011 MBA, so why not waiting for that?

Nice specs, I like it! I predict the CPU on that baby will be our own neural circuitry. And by "our" I mean billions of pods of biocells solely processing and powering Mecha-Steven Jobs, Emperor of the Machines, upon his Gamma-Throne.
 
People have nothing better to do than to open a thread 6 hours after release?

OMG! Didn't you see the article?

Next year's model is going to come with a Miniature Donkey, and the laptop will be powered by the ass, and the computer will have a new port to tie in with the accompanying animal so that it can be fed through the new porthole.... "*******".
 
just love it!

Exactly, I don't get all the hate, it's fun to speculate, even if it is VERY early.
