Apple has updated the 13-inch and the 11-inch MacBook Air with slightly faster Intel Haswell chipsets running on OS X Mavericks
Apple has officially announced refreshed MacBook Air laptops now running on the faster and more power efficient 4th Gen Intel Haswell processors. The new range comes loaded with the new processors, flash storage, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, up to 12 hours of battery life and Apple’s iLife and iWork apps.
“With MacBook Air starting at Rs. 65,900, there’s no reason to settle for anything less than a Mac,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “Macs have never been more popular, and today we’ve boosted the performance and lowered the price of MacBook Air so even more people can experience the perfect everyday notebook.”
