More Claimed MacBook Air Specs: 8-10 Hour Battery, NVIDIA 320M, Upgradeable RAM and SSD
Cult of Mac's mockup of next-generation MacBook Air
Cult of Mac weighs in with claims from a new source regarding the new MacBook Air that has been receiving considerable attention in the days leading up to Apple's media event on Wednesday. The new report corroborates many of the claims coming from other sources, but also offers a few new details on what we might expect in the new machine.
- Battery life rumored to be 8-10 hours, up from 5 in the current MacBook Air.
- Thinner and lighter form factor with fewer curves.
- Two USB ports, SD card slot, straight-style MagSafe, Mini DisplayPort.
- Base model with 2 GB of RAM, but upgradeable. SSD also upgradeable.
- NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics.
- Unconfirmed CPU claims of 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz options, but no claim of a specific processor family is offered.
- Suggestion of $999 for 11.6-inch model and $1100 for the 13.3-inch model, but Cult of Mac believes something like $1100/$1400 to be more likely.

And a black framed glass screen like the MBP. Looks nice. I bet what Jobs shows us on Wednesday looks different.

Looks pretty awesome! Having 2 different sizes will cater to a much larger audience, especially those which want a netbook-sized machine but without the slow cpus and poor quality that they provide. Looking forward to see what results!

So if this is true, what happens to the current 13inch Macbook pros? Price reductions?

It's Core 2 Duo if it has NVidia graphics. If that's true and less than 1500€, I'm buying.
