MacBook Air Retina Display is a new Mac developed by the Apple company at the moment, it will go into production in 2015. The new Mac will have a 12-inch Retina Display, a design modified by Apple and improved hardware for better performance.
According to some information that appeared today, that's it Apple Watch, as well as MacBook Air Retina Display going to go into production at the beginning of next year. Apple asked its partners to speed up the production process of the two new products for a launch that will take place in the following months.
Following a pilot production at the end of 2014, Apple's new 12-inch MacBook Air is expected to enter mass production in the first quarter of 2015, according to sources from the upstream supply chain. And with the Apple Watch also beginning production at about the same time, Apple's supply chain players have started accelerating their supplies of related components.
The 12-inch MacBook Air Retina Display will include new Intel Boardwell processors and will have a thinner profile than the current MacBook Air. This radical design change still generates problems for Apple's partners, who would not be able to produce a large number of units during this period.
As expected, Quanta Computer is the partner chosen by Apple to manufacture the new products, the company also producing the current Macs. According to some old rumors, the new MacBook Air is going to include a trackpad without buttons and processors without fans, but it remains to be seen exactly what we will get from Apple.
Apple's new MacBook Air features Intel's Broadwell processors and a new chassis design to reduce the device's overall thickness and weight, but the start of mass production has been hampered by low yield rates, the sources said. The new 12-inch MacBook Air will target mainly the high-end market segment and therefore will only have limited shipments, but the product will allow Apple to remain firmly as the leader in the ultra-thin notebook sector in terms of technology, the sources said.
Finally, it seems that MacBook Air Retina Display 12 inches will be available in the following colors: silver, gold and space gray, Apple intending to offer exactly the same colors as for iPhone terminals.
