Persistent rumors about an upcoming MacBook Air point to a redesign--as well as new processors. And on Wednesday, we got official word from Apple that it is staging a "Back to Mac" event on October 20. Needless to say, this can only serve to fuel speculation about new MacBooks--and most prominently the MacBook Air.
So, could Acer be blazing a trail that others will follow? At the very least, the TimelineX's feature set points to a contemporaneous cutting-edge ultraportable.

One of the marquee features is Intel's newest top-of-the-line, ultralow-power Core i7-680UM chip, running at 1.47GHz. But that base speed--which is fast for a "UM" series processor--gets cranked up to 2.53GHz with Intel's Turbo Boost technology.
