The New Macbook Air
The New Mac Pro
11 June 2013A Week At Apple’s WWDC
18 June 2013Apple unveiled the new Mac Book Airs today and was centred on two themes; Speed and longevity.
The biggest change to the laptops (which we predicted correct) is the switch to Intel’s latest Haswell processor. Schiller said the two companies worked hard together so that the new MacBook Air can deliver “all-day” battery life. The current 11-inch MacBook Air promises up to five hours of battery life, but the new model will offer nine hours. Meanwhile, the 13-inch MackBook Air will go from seven hours of battery life to 12 hours.
In addition with the new Intel HD Graphics 5000 graphics card, performance for games and graphics-intensive apps should be about 40% faster.
The refreshed MacBook Air is also capable of running on 802.1ac Wi-Fi network, which is up to three times speedier than the current 802.11n network. Of course, to support those faster speeds, you need a new router, so Schiller introduced a redesigned AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule
