You have a very odd definition of "remotely resemble" given all they did was add a USB port and SD card, did a speed bump and added a SSD in the 13".
It's not a 'totally new design" but a nice evolution of the original product. Put the two side by side and this is obvious.
Which is the new one?
I hadn't realised how similar they looked! There are some giveaways (the black strip at the hinge, the lack of a separate trackpad button, the higher resolution of the one on the right) but at first glance they look like the same computer.
...you're a lucky git having two of them to compare!!
And as is well known, we always stick entirely on subject and only debate things of great moment and intellectual weight here on Apple Insider......
Me, I find some of the side conversations that break out (other than tediously and hideously personal flame/troll wars) the best part of a given thread, and the others, well, I'm a well-practiced scroller.
Totally agree. It's the best computer I've ever owned. In everyday use (excluding gaming) it's the fastest, most responsive computer I've ever used too.
The only thing I miss is dual monitors when I'm docked.
I don't know if the MB air has the technology yet ... Thunderbolt ... but it is a strong possibility. They do have mini display port(MDP)... Apple is known to include technology that only needs to be awakened with an upgrade in software.
Now if that is the way it turns out to be ... Thunderbolt gives you the ability to use the Air screen plus another monitor... I think you can do that now with a monitor that interfaces with MDP

You think because they have the keyboard and display in the same place and size they are the not different?
Check out the previous MBA to the new 11? MBA? Can you not see a difference? Since the 11? is new size that to me screams a redesign.
Check out the profile of the old and new MBAs. Does the tapered sizes not scream redesign?
What about the ports on both sides compared to the previous MBA with a trap door for everything buy the MagSafe connector?
They are completely new. There was no popping the innards from one into the other and calling it a day.
You win the kewpie doll, sir:
