I'm a little confused by this news. Would the 12" MacBook be just a macbook as in non-pro? If it will be thinner than current Air's why wouldn't they just call it the new air? If it comes in 12" and is thinner than the current Air wouldn't they just phase out 11" and 13" screens? Afterall 12" ans 13" are still very close. At that point wouldn't the also maybe phase out the Air completely, having 2 models the "new" 12" MacBook super thin and 15" pro? At that point they would need a 3rd option like 11" or bring back the 17". What would be the difference between the 12" MacBook and 13" Air if the Air wouldn't even be slimmer and lighter at that point.
I'm thinking maybe it's a redesigned air and maybe the 11" will be phased out. I hope the latter isn't true, I just received my custom MacBook Air 13", I narrowly went with the 11" for portability and only opted for the 13" because of work. I'm impressed with the system and suprised the same hardware could has been crammed in an 11" air minus an sd card slot and USB port of course.'
