When you frame it like that, it might sound confusing. However, the word "Mini" implies size. The word "Air" implies weight (or bulk). Both MacBook Pro and MacBook Air come in 13" sizes. However, if they introduced a MacBook Mini, I don't think you'd expect that to be 13" as well. Ergo hoc procter & gamble postdoc: Mini == size, Air == weight.

MacBook Pro 13": 1.57 kg MacBook Air 13": 1.08 kg If you're referring to the iPad, the "Air" name implies that it's the lightest of the full-sized iPads. Next year, they could introduce an iPad Air Mini which would clearly be a smaller version of the lightweight iPad Air.
