News & Reviews:   Apple MacBook Air Malaysia launch

Apple may be working on a new, lower-cost MacBook expected to be priced below the current MacBook Air.

If you think there's nothing else to expect from the MacBook Air series after the WWDC22, you're wrong! Reputable Apple insider Mark Gurman claims that the tech giant will launch a 15-inch model of the laptop next year, being the largest MacBook Air ever.

Reputable tipster regarding everything Apple-related products, Ming-Chi Kuo yesterday took to Twitter to make predictions regarding an alleged new 15-inch notebook by the tech giant. Currently, Apple is only offering a 13-inch, 14-inch and 16-inch sizes MacBooks, all of which runs an iteration of the M1 SoC.

Well, that may change soon as Kuo claimed that Apple will be mass-producing a 15-inch Mac notebook in the fourth quarter of 2023. Previous rumours have pointed for this new 15-inch MacBook to be a larger-screened version of the MacBook Air which Kuo agreed with to a certain extent.

It's been a month since Apple introduced the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Not only are these laptops and desktop new but they are also equipped with the latest M1 processor made by Apple. Finally after a month, the products are now available on the Apple Malaysia website.

If you have been keeping an eye on the Apple MacBook Air with the M1 processor, you probably have heard of its power and battery efficiency. Well, some guys tested out with the AnTuTu benchmark and the score passed over 1 million points which is unheard of. But of course, some adjustments have to be made for that to happen.

After what has been a long wait for fans, Apple finally launched its new MacBooks earlier today. But if you were hoping to get the older models for a cheaper price, you may be out of luck. If you try to shop for older MacBook Air models now, you'll find they are no longer available.

Aside from the new Apple iPad Pro and Mac mini, the company's MacBook Air makes a comeback this year with several new upgrades. In fact, it has been reported that the new MacBook Mini is using an Intel processor which is related to the W Y-Series Amber Lake chips and it's really powerful. That said, the starting price listed on the Apple Malaysia is RM4142.

As Apple WWDC 17 draws closer, we got our first news of the upcoming products that will be shown at the event. According to sources, a new Macbook and Macbook Pro model will be announced, as well as a Macbook Air.

Tomorrow on 27 October, Apple will be holding an event (Hello Again) revealing new Mac lineup. It's been awhile actually, since the last Mac upgrade (more than a year) particularly for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and even more so for the Mac mini and Mac Pro for years. The last time that Apple did one was the Retina MacBook that came out in early 2015. So what can we expect? Perhaps three new Mac products?
