Apple Ramping Up Production of 12-Inch MacBook Air for Q1 2015 Delivery

Apple supplier Quanta Computer has begun ramping up production of the upcoming 12-inch MacBook Air ahead of a release during the first quarter of 2015, reports (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20150113PD202.html) Digitimes.
 
 The company has stepped up its efforts to recruit more workers for its production efforts on the notebook, and is looking to bring in a total of 30,000 workers during the quarter to also help with the Apple Watch (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/). Sources close to Quanta further note that the 12-inch MacBook Air will replace the existing 11-inch MacBook Air, with Apple choosing to keep the 13-inch MacBook Air.

 The next-generation MacBook Air (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/retina-macbook-air/) is expected to feature a high-resolution Retina display and a new Broadwell Core M processor (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/11/02/intel-broadwell-core-m-macbook/) that will enable a thin, fanless design. Other reports have also claimed (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/01/06/12-inch-macbook-air-rendition/) that the 12-inch MacBook Air will do away with nearly all of the ports found on Apple's current line of MacBook Airs and contain a headphone jack, a pair of microphones, and a USB Type-C port (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/22/ultra-slim-notebook-usb-type-c/) that may handle both connectivity and charging.
