I don't see why it's that hard to release this
Because their main component supplier keeps delaying their chips? Do you have an alternative to offer?

Probably because Apple's definition of what makes a great laptop differs from everyone else. It seems that Apple is apparently taking design cues from iOS devices and trying to apply them to MacBooks in a bid to make them more "personal".I still don't get it – why is it so hard for Apple to just create a great laptop? MBA is timeless, just upgrade the specs, the screen and tweak the design a little bit. What we need is a reliable machine. Nothing less, nothing more. Same as with Mac Pro. Just use the old silver case, upgrade the specs, create new amazing display a you are done. Professionals will buy it as soon as it hits the stores.

Ming Chi Kuo’s last day was 04/27. Kuo will no longer be reporting on Apple. Surprised there hasn’t been an article here about it.

What component? I didn't read that part. I guess an alternative depends on your needs, maybe a current MacBook or an iPad. Probably best for you to make that decision though.
They spent too much time on iOS devices.
Well since that is a pic of the current Air... I don't see the surpriseOMG...are those actual USB A ports?!?!?!? OH PLEASE......
Intel Cannon Lake CPU. The MacBook delay announcement comes two days after Intel (once again) delayed Cannon Lake, as I wrote above. They have to be connected since Cannon Lake chips are the new-gen low-power CPUs perfectly suitable for the new entry-level MacBook.
Yeah, seems like Apple should just offer the following:Apple might as well release a new Air, seeing that their product lineup is confusing at best:
We have a MacBook, a Pro with only 2 ports and no touchbar, another Pro with 4 ports. And it doesn't even play nice with a Lightning Cable. But wait, you can also choose an iMac, or iMac 5k.
Maybe even a Mac Pro (because it's still available online). Shiny, and so 'retro 2013'.
How old is the Mac Mini again?
Oh, but 'what's a computer'? I guess I can get this keyboard. I wonder how many other Smart connector accessories are out there...
I digressed, but thanks, Apple.
They have moved away from them a lot, but its still something that people expect and they did announce harware last year.Hardware during WWDC is not a guarantee anyways, regardless of the rumors. It’s primarily focused on the developers and iOS/macOS.
Apple wants us to buy iPad PRO instead of laptop.
I guess it depends on what you do, better than what and better at what?Makes sense. From everything I see on here, the iPad Pro is the better product.

I went from MBP to iPad Pro 12.9 2ng gen only... while it is lovely, for some stuff I have to do ... I regret the choice.
I would say there is a 50% / 50% situation for me, sometimes one is better some other the other one is.
You make it sound as if a computer is made up of legos where you can just exchange any one component for another similar one, and then they magically fit.I still don't get it – why is it so hard for Apple to just create a great laptop?

The MacBookAir makes so little sense in Apple’s lineup. Is Apple giving up on the ultra portable new generation MacBook? The MacBookAir started off expensive like today’s MacBook and eventually lowered in price to somehow become the budget MacBook. So, then why isn’t the MacBook taking that place? Last year’s specs could become the entry level like Apple does with the iPhone. For schools, isn’t Apple pushing the iPad as the next generation ‘computer’? Why does the MacBookAir exist?
