Apple Considers 14-inch MacBook Air
Apple is reportedly toying with the idea of a slightly bigger MacBook Air. This report comes in the wake of several others, pointing that the MacBook Pro of the future will look increasingly like the MacBook Air. Apple is considering this new, big MacBook Air to fully enter the Asia PC market, sources told DigiTimes. 14-inch notebooks are preferred more in the Asian markets, while European buyers, for instance, prefer 15-inch (or bigger) ones. The screen resolution of the new 14-inch MacBook Air is not known. The current biggest model in the series, the 13.3-inch one, packs 1440x900 pixels.

On a more serious note, if a 12" had all the 13" features but in a smaller 12" format, that would be a +ve thing for me. I didnt buy an Air because 13" is too big and the 11" is missing the card slots and the second USB. I need 2x USB slots. Keystick and headphones. And SDcard slot to dump the pictures from the Nikon.
Of course, any new Air needs a better screen and better resolution. It needs to match iPad3 in terms of pixel count... certainly you can't have the premium Air will an inferior screen.
14" or 15"...er not needed. Didnt we just have some news that the MacBook Pro was going "slim". Or is this just product management and PR confusion at Apple (or digitimes)?
