Now that the announcement of a brand new Macbook Air during the ‘Back to Mac‘ event on October 20th, a mere formality, more purported specs are making the rounds, courtesy Cult of Mac.
New Macbook Air Specs & Features
Below is the expected/rumored specifications & features of the New Macbook Air notebook.
- 11.6-inch model
- 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz processor options
- 8-10 hours of battery life (vs. a “claimed” 5 hours in the current model)
- NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics
- Upgradeable RAM (2 GB base) and SSD options
- New thinner case design

New Macbook Air Pricing
The new Macbook Air is rumored to be considerably cheaper than the current Macbook Air’s $1,500 starting price. The 11.6 inch version may be priced as low as $999, while the 13 inch version might cost $1100. The source points out that the 64GB iPad starts at $700, and the MacBook Air doesn’t have many more components.
This looks really exciting. Not often that Apple has failed to keep its announcement a secret, but I hope the rumors turn out to be true.
