Confident these recent leaks by Prosser are the next MBA. When we will see them released, I do not know. At the earliest I'd guess this fall sometime.
Been seeing some debate on YouTube and this forum about the naming. People are speculating they will be called just 'MacBook', etc. I don't see any chance of that happening.
In addition to the new colors, the big selling point will be an all new thinness and lightness. The MBA is very close in weight to the MBP. I expect these new machines to more resemble the LG Gram (which only weighs 2.16 lbs. in the 13.3" variety). If the new machines are super light, then it makes complete sense to call them MBA. It will finally deserve the 'Air' title once again.
The MacBook was its own laptop category due to the 12" screen/weight. And the name itself always struck me as odd. You've got this super small and light machine in your lineup and you just call it 'MacBook'. The 12" laptop category is niche and I believe most consumers would prefer a super light 13.3" laptop instead.
The white bezels continues this new trend for Apple to distinguish between the consumer devices (new MBA and 24" iMac) vs the more prosumer ones (MBP and 27" iMac update).
