We need a black Macbook Air.

How cool would a black Macbook Air be. Black anodised aluminium unibody, looking like a beautiful Thinkpad... I am pretty sure that the technology is here. Also I haven't actually hold a Nokia Lumia but how his the material. Would a MBA be attractive in polycarbonate?

I hope Lenovo gets their shit together and release a sexy version of Thinkpad with Apple's trackpad. So I am no longer hooked on Apple and can get back to Ubuntu, as it is a far more superior platform for development.

Until then, a touchpad alone on my Mac Book Pro kills all the laptop wannabes..

IMHO, high DPI displays are way more needed

Totally agree but that also means more GPU which means more battery. Apple really does have to strike the perfect balance.

Apple would probably charge $150 extra for it, though.

true, talking about extras, a matte display would also be good.

Yep!
