    If the new MacBook Air is in the pipeline, it will likely have the new, flawed, butterfly keyboard and the USB-C ports that nobody wanted.
    Can't see that happening . He said "new low-price MacBook Air." From that I'd expect a price drop and the product to be the same, except maybe a processor bump . Redesigning an Air to have the new keyboard and usb-c ports would be a strange, and expensive thing to do. Certainly it wouldn't help the machine become cheaper. Also its unlikely that Apple would go to that much trouble not do something about the only non retina screen in the lineup . At which point you essentially have a 13 inch MacBook which wouldn't sit well with a 12inch MacBook and a 13 inch MacBook pro in terms of product line up. The MacBook Air now only exists to be the cheap Mac portable. Given it weighs more than the MacBook, its a misnamed anomaly. At some stage it will die, I'd be surprised if it evolves.
