A new Mac laptop will be launched in Apple’s “Back to the Mac” event to be held tomorrow, October 20. According to Engadget the new MacBook Air might just fill in the link between Apple’s iPad and the good old MacBook. Engadget got several photos from its anonymous source, the photos which were claimed to be genuine claims that MacAir will have an 11.6 inch refresh. The Engadget writer, Paul Miller, said that “Contrary to popular belief, the machine appears to be another 13.3-incher, with the primary modification being extra room for battery cells and apparently no room for a hard drive.”
Other websites however are guessing that Apple might give several versions of what came to be its thinnest and lightest laptop which also happened to be the slowest. AppleInsider made it very clear that there is no truth in the news that the company will launch an 11.6 inch notebook. The new device is said to be something
different as it “”will do away with existing options for a conventional hard-disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) in favor something described as an “SSD Card” that lacks a traditional drive enclosure and more closely resembles a stick of RAM, yet is not easily user-replaceable.”The whole idea of shifting to storage options similar to the iPhone- iPad actually has its benefits, aside from lower prices it also boots faster and has an “instant – on” wake up from sleep. The current models of MacBook Air have been in display as early as June 2009 and tomorrow, another model will take the spotlight.
