I will be in the market for a new MacBook soon, but I do not like the new ones that were just announced. I'm wondering if any of you can speculate how long will the MacBook Airs be available for? When Should I buy an MBA if I need one? I also anticipate that the price will go down?
Got a tip for us?

You should buy a computer when you're ready to buy. Any computer you buy will have newer versions released not long after you buy it, so waiting for the next release could leave you in a perpetual waiting status. No, you shouldn't expect the prices of newer models to go down. On relatively rare occasions they do, but there is no way to predict that. No one but Apple knows what models will be updated or discontinued in the future or when such events may occur.
They were all refreshed a few weeks ago. Now is a good time to buy. They won't be refreshed again soon and the last few weeks has given a chance for all the inventory to stabilize.
