Finger crossed for a retina 11" model with a very big SSD... if it does not happen I'll probably use the money to get a big replacement SSD for my current 11" model instead, that's fast enough with its i7 for most programming tasks.
Edit: apparently my mid-2011 model is not capable of installing big enough SSDs, so I'll have to upgrade anyway to the new model.

It sure can take in these ( the same max capacity as the 2012 or 13" ones) http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2011 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2011 Note : Apple doesn't upgrade the Macbook Air's SSD post purchase so you'd have to get a third party one like the macsales one anyway.
- rz2k 13y agoA note of caution: though you can upgrade the SSD on recent Macbook Airs, you cannot upgrade the RAM after purchase.
- frou_dh 13y agoIntel reserving their "Iris" class graphics for non-ultrabook CPUs strongly implies that this year's Airs won't have Retina screens.
