Quanta Computer started production of 12-inch Apple MacBook Air

As the resource Digitimes, production partner kupertinovskoy company Quanta Computer has recently initiated the start of mass production of ultra-thin laptop MacBook Air 12-inch screen. In November notebook production should reach its maximum power, but there is a significant proportion of the probability that the sale of the device does not go up to the Christmas holidays, that is, until the end of December. During the development and production of test samples Quanta Computer has encountered difficulties in the manufacture of computer case, but then these problems have been resolved. As the processor is planned to use the chipset with ultra low power consumption, for example, Intel Broadwell-Y Core M, which was presented last month. Component suppliers also added that the 12-inch MacBook Air will get touch Retina-display. However, this is somewhat contrary to Apple's plans to launch 12.9-inch tablet iPad Pro, so the presence of the touch screen seems unlikely. On the other hand, the launch of two devices can be significantly stretch over time - for example, it is possible that Apple will release a laptop only to the middle of next year. By the way, in the sale of cell phones appear in three colors: silver, gold and gray.
