A new report claims that Apple’s supply chain will begin shipments of new MacBook Air models upgraded to include Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors and Thunderbolt high-speed interconnect later this month in preparation for a June or July launch.
Taiwanese industry publication DigiTimes reported Wednesday that sources from makers in the MacBook Air supply chain will begin shipping 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch MacBook Air models “in late May.”
“Main supply chain makers for the new models remain about the same as for the existing MacBook Air, with Quanta Computer solely responsible for assembly, Catcher Technology supplying casings, Auras Technology a main supplier of thermal modules, Shin Zu Shing supplying hinges, and Simplo Technology and Dynapack supplying batteries,” the report noted the sources as saying.
