Is the MacBook Air dead, then? Light and powerful isn't a valid niche anymore?

The current 13” is only 20g heavier than the Air, and a fair bit more powerful.
The writing has been on the wall ever since they dropped the ethernet jack from the MBP. They're making the Pro as thin and light as possible, so the Air doesn't make a lot of sense as a product line anymore.

An article on that topic, https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/tech-design/article/215...
Unlikely. The $999 MacBook Air is Apple’s best selling computer.
Source? It's a 3 year old laptop at this point.
College kids don’t care, they just want a mac and the entry level Air is $999.
