Meanwhile Apple has patented a crumb-resistant keyboard using its scissor switches.

Current macbooks are ~£1.2k for a 12" model, so this is probably going to be something dire like an atom processor if it's 13.3" for £1k. If it isn't atom powered, the chip choice could be very interesting - either they go with last gen intel (for £1k? must be joking!), or current intel (and give more power than most of their more expensive range, because quad core), or they go raven ridge (pipe dream, but it'd cause shockwaves)

They won't use Atoms but will use last gen processors or possibly low spec processors. I guess it will have soldered ram and no upgrades either. And it will also be £1k or thereabouts. read earlier, and as usual can't find it now that response has be appalling because Apple say they will sell 6 millions and analysts reckon they will be hard pushed to sell that many because of low specs

arm?

A folding ipad would make even bigger waves, I'd quite like to see one now

A quick look sees that a new Celeron say an N4100 is a 4c-4t cpu at a cheap price. I'd go with that as the cpu of choice

Core m3?

Aww, that's anticlimactic. I'd assumed the fancy air model was pricier than the standard macbook
