Just found out Apple have killed off the 11" Air, just as mine is starting to show its age. It's the perfect on the fly editing machine for me.

I guess I'll see if I can fine a second hand one of the last gen available, any suggestions? Gonna be a bugger cause I do need that 8GB ram upgrade.

I'd really prefer not to get an 13" one. Too big.

I'm another happy 11" MacBook Air owner and will be going down the Surface Pro route when it gives up the ghost.

As others have said, you get the sense Apple killed it to boost iPad sales. I think Microsoft have the edge in the tablet as laptop stakes however.

..to boost MacBook sales I'd have thought?

I remember, just when it came out, looking at the new MacBook, right next to the Airs -
seemed like the proper advancement.. lighter, thinner, (imo) better keyboard, much better screen..
..can't speak for performance as I have not worked on it / know nobody who does personally - but I think they're super nice little machines. Well, pricey though.
