“Shipments of a new MacBook Air model, reportedly equipped with a 12-inch Retina screen, have begun in small volumes and large-volume shipments will begin in November, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers,” Aaron Lee and Joseph Tsai report for DigiTimes.
“Apple is also planning to upgrade the technologies used for printing its logo onto devices and will use laser cutting and unique embedded technologies to make the logo 3D-like and shine at the edges,” Lee and Tsai report. “All Apple’s products will feature the new logo in 2015.”
Lee and Tsai report, “Apple is set to host a event on October 16 where it is expected to unveil new iPads and the new 12-inch MacBook Air, the sources added.”

A redesigned thinner, lighter Macbook Air with Retina display and sexy new laser-etched logo is going to be a megahit. Lots of pent-up demand for this product. It will be THE computer on college campuses in 2015.
you hit the nail on the head
If I buy one, will it get me on the college campuses? I was hoping to hit some of the frat parties.
I’ve got 12 inches to unveil too
People tell me all the time that I look JUST like John Holmes, only 6″ shorter.
If they do release a 12 inch MBA.. then it would seem they would also release a larger 14+ inch MBA. It would be odd to have a 12 and a 13 inch model. I have an 11″ that I use when traveling and I would much rather have a 14.5 or 15 inch model available now.. the current product line leaves you with a small 13 inch screen with a big jump in price and physical size when you have to go to the MBPR 15″.
I have a 15″ MBP 2011. I would LOVE smaller and lighter, but need quad-core i7 or better processor, and 1TB HD minimum to replace. I’m waiting for that day…
