Apple’s super-thin MacBook Air may be about to receive an update if a recent tip-off is accurate.<\/p>\n
According to MacWorld Australia, an individual claming to have reliable Apple intel says that an update to the thinnest Apple<\/strong> portable could be on the way. The source says that a new product number recently surfaced in an internal Apple database, sparking an expected curiosity. However, although the listed product number (MC516LL\/A K87 BETTER BTR-USA) does not explicitly outline that an updated Air is on the way, the source believes that low supply levels means that a refreshed MacBook Air is in the cards..<\/p>\n Apple first announced the MacBook Air<\/strong> at Macworld Expo in 2008. Since then the portable has seen a small number of revisions – The last of these was made available during the summer of 2009. So with an update long overdue, what would an updated MacBook Air<\/strong> offer? Electronista speculates that an updated MacBook<\/strong> Air could include RAM upgrades, new low-voltage Core i5 or i7 processors, new SSD options, and an upgraded graphics chipset.<\/p>\n MacBook Air’s Future?<\/p>\n But if an update to the MacBook Air<\/strong> is on the way, a more pressing question needs to be asked: How many people still care about the Air? Back in 2008 a Apple’s ultra-thin laptop,was something of a desirable product for those looking for a lightweight mobile companion. But now in a world where smartphones are commonplace, netbook growth appears to be cooling off, and the tablet is starting to catch on, does the MacBook Air still have a place in the market? I find it hard to see where the MacBook Air is going, and beyond a massive price cut, Apple can do very little to make the slimline laptop attractive to the masses.<\/p>\n Do you have a MacBook Air? Would you like to see an upgrade to the slim laptop? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!<\/p>\n Resource<\/b>:
