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?

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
