The IOS king Apple is reportedly planning to launch a more
affordable variant of the 13-inch MacBook Air in the second quarter
of 2018.
Apple
is likely to release a new MacBook Air "with a lower price tag"
during the second quarter of 2018, meaning we should see it sooner rather than
later, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities was quoted as saying
by 9to5mac on Saturday.
The
analyst expects the more affordable MacBook Air will help push MacBook
shipments up by 10-15 percent this year.
The MacBook
Air, released by then Apple CEO Steve Jobs at the MacWorld Expo in
San Francisco in 2008, has not been updated since 2015 as Apple has
shifted focus towards the 12-inch MacBook and MacBook Pro.
The
13-inch MacBook Air, a most popular
choice for college students, is currently sold starting at $999 (roughly Rs.
65,000) for 128GB of PCIe-based storage, a 1.8GHz dual-core i5 processor, and 8GB of LPDDR3 Ram . It is priced at Rs. 77,200
in India, though usually at much lower prices in the open markets.
The
device last saw a minor update at the Worldwide Developers Conference
in June 2017, with a slightly faster processor, and 8GB of RAM as a default.
