If this new MacBook Air has a touch screen to run all the current iPad apps, while all OS X apps can simply re-compile to an x86/arm Universal app to run on it, it would definitely be my dream laptop.

A touchscreen MacBook Air with a clever hinge so that you can flip it around and use it as a tablet would be pretty sweet.

I know there have been some attempts at this kind of laptop-tablet form factor in the past, but has any manufacturer ever actually managed to solve the hinge problem?

I didn't know it was a problem. I have a Viliv S7 (touchscreen, flip-to-tablet netbook) since maybe a couple of years, no issue with the hinge.
