A day back, some key details pertaining to the elusive MacBook Air with Retina display were made public, and accompanying the revelations, we also saw some impressive renderings that offered a visual take on the abundance of information. Now, one of our favorite designers has taken it upon himself to mockup the 12-inch MacBook Air in various different settings, and if it is indicative of the final product, we've a great deal to be excited about.
The 12-inch MacBook Air has been rumored ad nauseam over the past year or so, with Apple enthusiasts certain that the slick notebook will follow the lead of its more powerful cousin by incorporating a Retina display. Today, new details have emerged that paint a more vivid picture of what we can expect from the product's apparent announcement around the time of WWDC, as well as some very interesting mockups.
Chinese company Xiaomi is making waves not just at home where it has cannibalized Samsung’s smartphone market share, but also worldwide where it has managed to gain itself a spot in the planet’s top 5 smartphone makers. One of the world’s biggest and fastest growing startups, Xiaomi is already setting its sights beyond the phone.
The Apple rumor mill is up and spinning again, and this time it's the unsubstantiated 12-inch MacBook Air at the helm of this trend. Alleged reports are touting Apple's new ultra thin notebook for a release in the first quarter of 2015, and we definitely have our fingers crossed for that.
Apple has yet another big media event scheduled for later on this week, and just as was the case in the run-up to last month's shenanigans, tech fans and commentators are rummaging around for evidence of what might be showcased in three days' time.
One of the best ways to show consumers how much better your product is than a rival's is to compare your great invention with that of your adversary. Apple is one of the longest-standing nemeses of Microsoft, and in an attempt to showcase the Surface Pro 3's credentials, has used the MacBook Air as fodder.
When Apple quietly refreshed its MacBook Air lineup last week it not only increased the speed of its low-end model's processor from 1.3GHz to 1.4GHz. While no doubt an improvement - we're always happy to get more horsepower in our machines - possibly the most important change is the fact that the model now also comes with a price tag that's $100 lower than it was previously. If you were on the fence about picking up a MacBook Air then there's never been a better time to do just that.
A short while ago, Apple's refreshed, reduced-price 2014 MacBook Air went on general sale, adding an upgraded Intel Haswell processor for a slight improvement in performance. But the bigger news story is the knock-on effect that the refresh has had on the pricing of the older, refurbished MacBook Air, which can now be picked up from Apple with the standard one-year warranty for a very enticing $599.
Last week it was revealed that the MacBook Air range would almost certainly be afforded a rudimentary refresh, including possible processor enhancement among a series of other minor tweaks. It is believed that said 2014 MacBook Air upgrade will arrive on Tuesday, and on the eve of the roll-out, a leaked shot appears to confirm all of the key details.
It's been almost a year since Apple's MacBook Air range was afforded a hardware upgrade, and a pretty significant upgrade it was too. The introduction of Intel's energy-efficient Haswell processor saw battery life potential increase by hours on both the 11 and 13-inch models of the ultra-thin notebook, and now, both configurations are in line for another customary bump according to a new report.
