Feel free to ignore this thread but having read through the MBA speculation thread a lot of it is dream specs that are completely unrealistic. Really how many actually expect to use the new MBA to run photoshop or run the latest Valve games?

To be honest what I'd love to see is some more solid/backed up speculation and reasoning about what may be coming, such as Scottsdale's re the use of the ATI 5430 (Not convinced the MBA will get or needs a discrete GPU but it would certainly be welcome) or not coming. In this realm, and apologies if I missed it but, I was surprised that noone else had mentioned the the fact that a C2D speed bump would not be possible due to the lack of any faster 17W Intel processors. After all this probably has been a big contributory factor to the amount of time that there has been no MBA update, other than the the primary Nvidia/Intel situation :)

So how about it what do you realistically think that is or is not coming and why?
