I honestly do not care about the apple watch.

I stopped wearing a watch once I got an iPhone

Battery life at 9 hours wireless web, 10 hours iTunes playback. Good, but imagine what it would be if they didn't make the MBA even thinner than before... would probably be 2x that.

^ Curious on price too. Beautiful piece of engineering.

Also, no more 11" or 13" MBA's, or will lineup be 11", 12" and 13" now?

12.1-inch Retina, 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core M, Intel HD Graphics 5300, 8GB memory, 256GB SSD. $1299.

1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core M, 512GB SSD for $1599

Shipping April 10.

Finally moving away from 4GB RAM and forcing $100 upgrade on us?

Probably just a processor bump and not much else if they didn't mention anything about it. I'm good with the 13" MBA. Hopefully they put a retina in it , bump the standard RAM to 8GB, and keep price the same.

Probably taking pre-orders today and ship April 10 with 12" MB. They did say watch would ship in April before.

Though if they shipped April 1, they'd get more people talking about it
