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
