<section class="page">
<p>As predicted by some Apple-watchers, the company
updated its line of lightweight notebooks on Tuesday, bringing updated versions of Intel’s Core i5 and i7 processors to the MacBook Air. Even more significantly, the company’s dropped the price of the MacBook Air models by $100 each, making the slim portables even more affordable than ever.</p><p>The new processors—which,
like the versions in the last Air models, are based on Intel’s Haswell architecture—aren’t just about increasing performance on the MacBook Air line; the focus is on providing that performance without compromising battery life. Like their predecessors, these 13-inch and 11-inch MacBook Air models offer 12 and 9 hours of battery life, respectively. There’s also a minor increase in the amount of iTunes movie playback time you can achieve on the new Airs, from 8 hours to 9 hours on the 11-inch model and from 10 hours to 12 hours on the 13-inch model.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2148948/apple-bumps-processor-on-macbook-airs-drops-price.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
