According to a release that has just landed in our inboxes, Apple has officially launched the latest edition of the MacBook Air. And while it retains its svelte looks, beneath the hood lurketh some serious processing power. The aluminum unibody enclosure remains an incredible 0.11 inches at its thinnest point and 0.68 inches at its thickest, and you still have two flavours – the 11 inch and the 13 inch ones. What has changed however is the processing power in these beauties – users can now opt for the muscle of Intel Core i5 and Core i7 dual core processors. The Air also now has backlit keyboards and a glass multi-touch touchpad. The graphics are handled by Intel HD Graphics 3000, which is a bit of a let-down for those of us who were expecting NVIDIA graphics-card goodness, but which should still be good enough for most graphics tasks that fall short of high-end gaming. Also present is Thunderbolt, the new I/O technology introduced by Apple, and of course, there is the little matter of Mac OS X Lion which introduces several new features to the already stunning interface. However, what has really grabbed our attention is the fact that the price of the range has been slashed again – it now starts at Rs 56,900 for the 1.6 GHZ, 2 GB RAM and 64 GB Flash storage model and goes up to Rs 89,900. You can get details of the new models here. We will be posting a review when we get our mitts on a model. As of now, we are busy being catching our breaths.
