“A Chinese-language blog with a debatable track record claims Apple is working on a 15-inch MacBook Air with more information to come in the ‘second half’ of this year,” Zach Spear reports for AppleInsider. “Translated from Chinese by Google Translate, the recent entry on Apple.pro said, ‘It is understood that Apple is producing more than the current MBA size MacBook Air (15-inch?).’ (Apple’s current MacBook Air, of course, ships with a 13.3-inch display.)”
Spear reports, “Apple.pro’s track record in Apple rumors is mixed. Photos it posted in August billed as the new MacBook turned out to be false, while its July photos of the new MacBook Pro turned out to be quite revealing of the actual product.”
“While there is a subset of Apple’s customer base that would welcome a larger-screened MacBook Air, it is unclear if there would be enough overall demand to sustain such a product,” Spear reports. “Apple does not provide breakdowns of notebook sales by model, but a quick glance at the Apple Store’s Mac Top Sellers column lists the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac ahead of the fourth-place MacBook Air.”
