An early morning marketing email from Apple sent out to business users today showcases the Macbook Air with the tagline “Take work more lightly.”
With all of the recent overhauled notebook rumors, as well as an imminent Macbook Air refresh, this email is clearly targeted towards clearing the current Macbook Air supply to make way for a new, refreshed model.
“While much of the external casing will remain the same, the overhaul will primarily take place under the hood. The MBA currently runs a custom Intel Core 2 Duo processor from the Merom-class, that has been modified to conserve power by running a lower voltage. The new proposed MBA will substitute the current 65 nanometer processor for a standard Penryn-class Core 2 Duo. The switch will allegedly allow the chip to push 2.0 GHz and “potentially beyond.” However, this will inevitably create a power drain, that Apple will combat with a higher capacity battery. PhoneNews has confirmed the new MBA will require a 60W power adapter to provide for adequate charging,” MacBlogz previously reported.
