I see this more as an evolutionary step. They size the whole package down with lower battery life and lower performance, then as the technology catches up they will up the battery life and performance once it's possible. Same thing they did with the original Air and Pro. When the original Air came out people mocked it for giving up ports and optical drives for size, now it's the standard laptop that's recommended for most use cases.
