"That model and its crappy TN screen is vastly inferior and more expensive than similarly-sized ultrabooks. The only redeeming feature it has is MacOS." Except it's made from a block of aluminum, has excellent build quality and will easily last 5+ years of day-in-day-out use. All I wanted was an 11" MBA with a higher res screen. They could have reused the exact same form factor and dies and tooling, etc. I would have happily upgraded to that.
