Next MacBook Air to come with OS X Lion?

[saintforlife]

Will the next generation of Macbook Air come with Mac OS X Lion? The timing for the refresh may fall right after Lion is released.

Discuss.

Reports so far is that Lion is already pretty solid.

I Wouldn't be surprised if the final was released at WWDC.

So if I get an MBA now and when Lion comes out..how will I be able to install it since it has no cd-drive?

Also with the Mac OS updates, is it usually an improvement in speed or do you start to need better hardware? (me new to macs

That remains to be seen. Either you will be able to download it from the Mac App Store, Apple will ship it on a USB key, or both.

Usually OS X updates speed things up.

App store would be awesome!

All Macs will ship with Lion once it is released. If a new one is out by then, then it will. If the Air comes first, then no.

I would think that the new MPA wont come until October by the earliest thus it should have lion by that time.
