    Curious if anyone thinks there's a market for this? As a fan of the Air, the weight and size is the whole point. I don't personally see how this aligns well with the original design goals of the line. It would probably still be light, but the M2 Air is already almost 14 inches.

    I wonder if anyone has kept a score sheet of “rumor batting average” for the various “analysts”.

    Warren Buffett just offloaded TSMC and bought Apple.

    This is just to raise prices on the standard "MacBook" line and to push the Pro line into the next price bracket.
