Apple today announced and released updated MacBook Air laptops for 2012. The MacBook Air will now come equipped with Intel’s Ivy Bridge line of processors that offer both better performance and still the same battery life as last years. There will still be both an 11” and 13” model of the MacBook Air and you can configure up to an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD. The SSD flash memory on board will be nearly twice as fast as last years models, offering up to 500MBs read speeds. The camera on the MacBook Air also gets an improvement as it moves up to 720p resolution. Speaking of resolutions, the screen resolution does not change from last year. The 11” model of the Air has a 1366 x 768 display while the 13” is 1440 x 900. The pricing starts at $999 on the 11-inch model and bumps up to $1,099 with the Intel Core i7 and shipping starts today, as soon as they get the Apple Store back up as its been shut down today for “updates”.
All in all the new MacBook Air appears to be mostly served with internal updates to offer better performance and a cheaper price, which you can’t really complain too much about. The design and build of the MacBook Air is already the standard it seems all the PC makers are pursuing, so there’s no use changing what already works. You still get the same backlit keyboard, razor thin design of 0.68” and light weight of 2.38lbs on the 11” model and 2.96 pounds on the 13” model.
