Low-end 11.6". Why? Because it's the cheapest. It's perfect as a secondary computer (sufficient as main one too) and 999$ price tag makes it very appealing.

Obviously the base 11" is the most popular with the base 13" being the second most popular as they are the cheapest respectively for reach model.

Of course here on these forums you'll see a lot of talk of upgrading RAM or buying maxed out versions, but the average Joe isn't going to do this.

My initial thought was the low end 64GB but I think most people would see that as not enough memory for their needs. Of course, being under $1,000 is important too.

And since shipping times slipped on the base 11", that at least shows that either:

1. It's the most popular so far, or
2. Apple underestimated the popularity of that model.

I suspect the little netbook model is going to be the most popular, but the last poll that was done (identical to this) had a 50/50 split between the 11" and the 13" versions of the MBA.
