Company's updated product could improve in one area. Maybe. It could also improve it in another area and not the other one. Possibly.

I'd rather use a fat and heavy notebook, but with replaceable RAM and battery.

Being able to get a 16GB MBA would tempt me about as much as a Retina MBA.

A slightly-lighter rMBP 13 or 15 would probably meet my needs, and would be Retina and 16GB. My MBA 13 2011 only has 4/256 which is kind of limiting. It's not quite worth upgrading just to go to 8/512/non-Retina.

I'll be disappointed if they upgrade the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and not the 15-inch.

if they keep removing hardware, like dvd drive last year, of course it's going to get lighter... and also less and less "pro."

I demand a 5.25" floppy drive in order to satisfy my "pro" requirements!
