I like the MBA just fine the way it is. I previously had a unibody MB and can't recall the glass touchpad feeling any better than the one on the MBA. I don't really see the benefit of having the entire (well, the bottom half) of the touchpad being a button. I like the combination of the large touchpad and thin dedicated button. I actually prefer to have the touchpad remain flat while I'm click-dragging.

As for the edge to edge glass screen, I think the aluminum bezel on the MBA is far superior in terms of glare. To me a major distraction with the unibody display was the reflections on the black non-displaying area. Because of this, I think that the overall user experience with the MBA is far better.

I'm all for new stuff, but only when it's actually better than the old stuff.

No black on it please. The more and more I hear crazy request for new stuff on the air, the more I like my Rev 1 Macbook Air.
 
Here's what I found in an elevator

That just looks like the 15 or 17" screen scaled down, which is why the bezel is so small. Assuming the physical size remains the same, and the screen remains the same, you can expect the black bezel to remain the same size as the silver bezel.

Yeah, its a concept design of a macbook air with a larger screen and black bezel.
