What do people think about this? It runs contrary to rumors that the iPad was delayed for the sake of the retina...this article says the opposite..

What? Is this article suggesting that the 12-inch retina MacBook Air and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (none of which are even confirmed) are the same product? Where did they get this from?
I had no access to the DigiTimes article. However, the IBT article cited mentions the retina MacBook Air and the iPad Pro as two different products, and not the same one. So, I guess they were just confused.

I wish we'd get some more rumors about it being thinner and having no fan assembly.
Me too. More rumors are probably coming in the next weeks... or months. Who knows? The Air is getting older and older...

How much thinner can it possibly get?
I just got mine last week and this device is amazing and wished I hadnt wasted my time on all those iPad versions when I could have gotten real work done on this thing.
The portability is top notch and yes I can use a more vibrant/clear screen but it isnt terrible and for what I use it for its an amazing device. When BB had their deal and I picked up mine for less than $650, I couldnt pass the opportunity to try it.
Perhaps not too much thinner. But keeping the same weight (or making it just slightly lighter) and adding a 12-inch 16:10 retina screen instead of a the 11-inch 16:9 one would be just great.

^^^^I guess we agree on the iPad. I hated the damn thing. My post from another thread:
Yes. I don't hate the iPad. I just wish it was useful. But it is not. Perhaps in the coming years it gets better. But Apple is being so slow at implementing this...
