New Macbook Air 2011: Cheaper Price and Smaller Specs? | Early Review

Posted on 16 October 2010 by pinoytutorial

So here’s a quick wrap-up for the events that transpired earlier about this enigmatic Macbook Air. So right now you should understand that there might be a real redesign about its form-factor to make it smaller; will use an SSD card instead of HDD and will incorporate an AMD type of processor.

Probably you will be asking. Is there really a need to make a new Macbook Air? Considering their last model which was released January 2008 – already made a name out on the market as the ‘world’s thinnest notebook’.

The answer for this question is both. Probably yes, because Apple has a good history of being competitive on their products and you won’t likely hear any news about BIG A letting go of a model without making a newer version out of it. Starting from the iPhone ending to the Macbook Pro – Heck, it even tried to make a newer version out of the Apple TV. That’s how Apple works and how it sincerely loves every product it has created.

Now the case might be a no for the buyers, if Apple won’t do something really special for this new macbook air — special enough to make the previous pretty version, ugly. My best bet is that Apple will try to market this one at a lower price. Seeing it will use an SD card and an AMD type of processor is more than enough proof to make the price plummet from the original price landing at $1,500. Just like what we covered earlier, any macbook products that dropped over a sub-1k USD price is like an eye candy. This is where Apple will get all the power to drive this new creation towards the market.

As for me, I think I would just pass this product even it manage to have a good buying price. Let’s just say I got everything that I needed here. (iPad, Laptop, Desktop PC and a smartphone) This device is meant for people who haven’t yet buy a laptop or who’s wanting to replace their old laptop/notebook with something that’s more efficient, sexier and of course, with an Apple ‘handsome’ name. Yep! As much as I hate to say this, some people still buy an Apple product just because of its name. Ultimately, should this product be for real, Apple may really stab the netbook market onto its heart this time, by dominating its sales through the iPad and now with this new device.
