Considering how light and fast the 9.7" and 12.7 iPad Pro is having a 2lb 13" Air with similar speeds becomes fairly distinctive. It further separates the Air vs Pro lines and could have ~18 hours of battery life.

Right now the basic MacBook is 1200$ has a larger screen and lower weight than the smallest Air. The 11" Air on the other hand is much cheaper.

If you wait 2 years the 9.7" and 12.7" iPad Pros will have that much battery as standard without betting an ARM laptop will revive dwindling PC sales.
