There’s a New MacBook Air Model Coming, Taiwanese Sources Say

Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch a new MacBook Air model, boosting Quanta's revenues in the process, according to a new report from Asia.

Taiwanese trade publication DigiTimes reports that "Apple [is] set to launch a new MacBook Air model [and] Quanta's revenues are expected to grow further in the future.”

Quanta Computer shipped 3.8 million notebooks in January, according to the industry report, and expects its shipment volume to drop 10-15% sequentially to 11.8-12.5 million units in the first quarter of 2012.

Apple's MacBook Air lineup is expected to adopt Intel's next-generation of processors dubbed “Ivy Bridge.” The Cupertino, California giant not only plans to upgrade the laptops, it also reportedly plans to include a 15-inch version of the ultra-thin notebook.
