Anyone else waiting for a retina MBA next year? I am hoping that Apple keeps at least a single USB port on this one and keeps the Magsafe charger. Unless Apple already killed it with the new MacBook and thinner MacBook Pro.
Frankly, I don't think the MBA in any form will make the cut next year. I think it's toast, as Apple pushes users to the pricier (but underwhelming) MacBook as the 'base' MacOS notebook, or to the even more underwhelming iPad Pro. As for ports, that seems to actively conflict with Ive's vision of what a notebook should look like - form over function has always been a challenge with Apple, but I can see it only getting worse. Probably a charging pad and no ports at all, relying entirely on wi-fi, bluetooth or a proprietary wireless connection to peripherals - but it'll sure look cool...
I mean its not like I use USB that much anymore other than keyboard and mice, but I don't like the fact that Apple's own phones can't connect to their computers without using a dongle.
I have a gut feeling that the MBA is no longer going to be around. The MacBook and now the MacBook Pro are almost the same as the Air.
