The MacBook Air is one of the most polished products I've ever used. It's my go to when suggesting a computer for anyone who doesn't need raw processing power. It's cheap, lasts years and years, and does its job perfectly.

It wasn't cheap when it was new and MacBooks are in general long-lasting machines.

It doesn't fit into the current line-up but clearly is just kept around because using old tech lets them keep the price down.

But there is no need for new tech for most people, so why change something that just works? The form factor is fine, battery life amazing, and does everything you need it to. I don't see why apple would cancel it, it also helps sell people into their ecosystem.
