revolutionary new macbook, with USB-C and thinnest case: so what could make this new macbook look clunky and old really quick?

new direction for macbook air:
1. wireless charging so no need for USB-C charging port or even MagSafe 2.
2. 11" retina screen
3. AMD processor - no Intel processor, hello integration with iOS
4. with Lightening port in order to charge iPhone
5. Lightening port also for Lightening port Beats headphones
6. Touchscreen capability but has the macbook air builtin non removable keyboard in the first product launch, but eventually makes it a separable keyboard

the above would preserve a 3 tiered line:

macbook: entry and slower, the workhorse mac and likely choice for 1st mac for Windows converts

macbook air: apple's totally net dependent and mac eco-sphere companion

macbook pro: speed and ports and configurability
