News & Reviews:   Apple MacBook Air

Malaysia prices for the Apple Macs, iPads and some other devices have officially increased, with the highest increase up to RM2600 for the MacBook Pro 14” M5 Max. It’s not that Apple didn’t warn us about it, but we were sort of expecting the price increase due to rising memory prices to just affect the upcoming Apple iPhone 18. Unfortunately for us, this also has other consequences, because everyone else may follow as well.

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

As per tradition, Apple would often release new generations of iPads and MacBooks during spring in the US. According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg in his newsletter, the first mini-Apple event could start in March or April as usual. Here's what we can expect from Apple's next move. 

Previously, we reported that Apple may be working on a 15-inch MacBook Air, the first laptop in the Mac lineup to feature that display size. Now, more details have emerged about the product, including its processor and potential release date.

Apple is reportedly planning to release a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air in late 2023, the first time that the lineup would feature that screen size. The report is an update to previous rumours regarding Apple’s MacBook lineup, which also suggested that the tech giant is working on a 12-inch MacBook Air too.

Apple launched a Self Service Repair programme back in April that covers a majority of its iPhone lineup. Now, the tech giant has announced an expansion to the programme to include its laptop lineup, namely the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.

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.
