    Apple needs to bring the slim bezel and matte screen back on the 13" MBP!

    Or Apple can just kill off the 13" MBP.

    The 13" MBP is one of their top selling notebooks, would be suicide to kill off a money-maker like it.

    What I do hope to see are some improved graphics in the 13" line. That's part of the reason I switched over to a 15" model. Ivy Bridge should solve some of these problems, from what I've heard.

    You didn't…

    I would actually never buy the Air, neither the 15".


    If I could add one single thing to my MBP I would add a high resolution screen.

    Depending on how it performs, I'll probably sell my MBP 15 and get an Ivy Bridge 13. I don't want an Air because it doesn't have enough storage. A discreet GPU and/or a matte screen option would be icing on the cake.

    If the air had an 8GB RAM model, I might switch my MBP 13 to a MBA 13 when they do a refresh. It will be sad to lose the FireWire800 and Ethernet ports though.
