    Was really hoping that they would have updated the Macbook Air

    With the iPad now released, I'm willing to bet the Air slowly dies out and doesn't receive any further updates.

    Its too bad. With a new core i ULV + nvidia 320m+4gb ram+10hours battery the Air would be a sweet machine. The iPad will not work for me. I need a real OS, keyboard, and screen.

    I think surely they're going to revise the air, maybe in june along with a new iphone? would love a CULV CPU in it, those things sip energy. NVidia Optimus tech with maybe a 310M GPU means 8 hour battery life? Battery was the only reason I ever sold my macbook air.

    In additional to 4GB RAM and faster processor, I would also like to see a 1440 x 900 LCD screen on Air. If there will be an upgrade for Air in the future....

    How much money are you willing to bet? ;)

    Seriously though, I expect the Air to get an update. Thin and light is a growing market. With 2 KG the Macbook Pro 13" is more heavy than the competition. Apple needs the Air.

    I hope they will update the looks with the black bezel. The current design looks old fashioned.

    I would be very happy with C2D and the 320m - that's an amazing combination. I'd also expect some battery magic too.

    Pretty sure an updated model is coming soon. Maybe with some carbon fibre???
