Apple Planning New MacBook Airs for June?
"A Concord Security Analyst was quoted as saying he had inside information from a manufacturing source about new MacBook Airs hitting the production lines. The Apple MacBook Air 13-inch and 11-inch models sold really well when they first launched back in October 2010. So well, in fact, that for every two MacBook Pros sold a MacBook Air was among them. That's a 1 to 2 ratio, according to the analyst. And then the new MacBook Pros arrived (Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt versions) and Air sales started tailing off by as much as 51% in the first quarter of this year."
"The Airs are undeniably attractive and utterly thin, but the technology inside them is once again falling behind their MacBook Pro brethren. For instance, they're still using Intel Core 2 Duosa three-year old processor that every other manufacturer has since abandoned in favor of Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture."
