Even more details have surfaced on the new MacBook Air that is expected to be announced next week.
AppleInsider sources told the site: ● The 11.6-inch MacBook Air won't replace the 13.3-inch model, but will instead complement it as a more aggressively-priced option. ● Both the new 11.6- and 13.3-inch models sport matching outfits in the form of new, all-unibody designs and single button trackpads. ● The port door found on the existing MacBook Air is gone from the new designs, which feature a port layout similar to the existing MacBook Pros. ● The new "SSD card" storage is based off an SATA connection. ● The base component of both models is just slightly thicker than a standard USB port at its thickest point.
Other details derived from the posted image and system profile: ● SSD card sits above and to the left of the battery chamber ● Two USB ports, one on each side ● MagSafe power adapter, mini DisplayPort, and SD card reader ● The prototype features same 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo SL9400 processor as current model ● 2GB of memory ● Bus speed clocks in at 1.07GHz ● Identified as MacBook Air 3,1
