The New MacBook Air: Smaller, with Two USB Ports [RUMOR]

At today's event, dubbed Back to the Mac, Apple is likely to announce a new version of its operating system Mac OS X, but rumor has it that we'll also see a refreshed MacBook Air, Apple's lightest portable computer.

That rumor just became a bit more specific, with quite detailed specifications leaking from a source that supposedly had the new Air in his hands.

There's no word on the graphics or storage in the new Air, but it should have a significantly smaller 11.6-inch display, a 2.13/2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 gigabytes of memory, two USB ports, a Mini DisplayPort, an SD card reader, and no optical drive.

Sounds like a convincing set of specifications, although we're not sure what to make of the smaller form factor. In case the rumor is true, how do you like the new specifications? Please share your opinion in the comments!
