I'm not in the immediate need of upgrading my M1 MacBook Air, but I've been following the rumors for next years M6 powered MacBook Pros with a certain interest: OLED and slimmer design sounds great, touch screen not so much, IMHO.

There's also the rumored cheaper MacBook, powered with an A-chip, that seems a bit underpowered.

So, that leaves me to think that my next Mac will be another MacBook Air (and probably a 15" at that). But that has gotten me thinking of what I'd really like out of the next generation of MacBook Airs.

Basically, I'd like them to get (without spec'ing them way into MBP territory):
* A sligthly updated design (not going back to the wedge shape, but with the MBP slimming down, some modernization would be nice).
* With the MBPs going OLED, I'd love to see the MBA to "inherit" the Mini-LED screens from the MBP, ie. Liquid Retina XDR screens with 120Hz ProMotion.
* More and slightly fresher color options

And, that's it, really. Is that too much (or too little) to ask for?
