Against the background of the announcement iPad 3, to which were a matter of days, and other news from the world of Apple seem a little faded, but not a single tablet, the company alive. 2012 will be important for her, too many major changes in the product line should occur. For example, in addition to the tablet in the future, Retina, and a brand new iPhone, it is expected that the first time since 2008, Apple will change the design of notebook MacBook Pro, and even among the Air may be new solutions.
The guys from DigiTimes has once again unearthed a wild rumor about increased at a rate of MacBook Air. Although they are wrapped in a wrapper information "reliable information from sources inside the industry." Probably recall last year's news of a 15-inch model, but this format, as well as a 13.3-inch laptops are popular in the west, in the U.S. and Europe. But the Asians prefer 14-inch laptops. What am I? The fact that Apple's China and other Asian regions are now a priority market, and it intends to firmly fight for it. It is so tough that even ready to release a special 14-inch model Air to him, confident in DigiTimes.
Some statistics about the preferences of people in different regions. In the United States and Europe of the 14-inch notebooks is 20-25% in Asia - 35-40%. If Apple can not increase the size of a 13.3-inch Air to build in a 14-inch display, the model will turn out successful, not only for the Chinese market, but also to the west, too.
Also, do not forget about the company and the MacBook Pro, the more so for a long time it's time to change the design of laptops. Even last year it was expected that Apple will hold a full redesign of the casing of these devices and may refuse to use the optical drive in them. But this did not happen. Now all of the same journalists DigiTimes assure the public that the company in April, finally, will present a model thin MacBook Pro, namely, 13 - and 15-inch. An updated 17-inch version of the notebook may appear somewhat later (remember the announcement of the first Unibody-models, 17-inch version since appeared only at the beginning of 2009, and 15-inch - in 2008).
It is assumed that the first batch of updated MacBook Pro in a thin shell will consist of 900 thousand units. Although the timing of the release still has nuances, given that volume shipments of processors based on the architecture of Intel Ivy Bridge postponed until the summer. After all, they will form the basis of all future Mac. Well, the wait is long, up to April at hand, and we'll see.
