Apple Might Discontinue the MacBook Air (gizmodo.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Just in time for its tenth anniversary, Apple might finally be killing the MacBook Air, according to a new report from Digitimes. If this is true, it'd be the first axing of a laptop line from Apple since the iBook and Powerbook were axed back in 2006. It would also be about damn time. Apple quietly killed the 11-inch MacBook Air back in 2016, but the larger 13-inch version has lingered on, getting a mild processor refresh last year that still left the laptop using a 5th generation Intel processor. That's three generations behind the processors currently found in the MacBook Air's competition, and it is the primary reason the laptop was excluded from our piece looking at the best laptop to be had for under $1000.

What's a computer?

They need to get rid of all their desktops and laptops, just to prove that they're serious about the death of non-tablet devices.

Oh wait, some of us actually need to do work, rather than just dicking around looking at pictures of food and duck-faced girls.
