news.cnet.com — The Apple MacBook Air has been a ground-breaking, first-generation product. So, what will Apple do to top it when an update comes later this year? There are some telling indicators already. This is what I expect--and hope for--as a user.

And they call this journalism? I don't really care for the air, but would love a form factor upgrade to my Macbook Pro!

It's a f**king ultraportable. Want an optical drive? Get the regular MBs or the MB Pro.

Then don't buy a MacBook Air.It's that easy.

I'm inclined to think something like an Asus Eee PC is a lot more practical in that role. It's smaller, lighter and more robust. And it doesn't cost the earth.

I'm more interested to see what the new MBPs will look like. The design has barely changed since the PowerBook.
