Printed from  Apple rumored with 15-inch MacBook Air in early
2012  updated 07:50 am EST, Mon November 28, 2011  Apple thin
15-inch may be next MacBook Air  Apple's very thin 15-inch
system due next year is a MacBook Air, part suppliers claimed
Monday. Supporting earlier talk of parts being on their way,
Digitimes heard that test production was underway with a 15-inch
model adding to refreshes of the 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch
versions. All of them would arrive in the first quarter of 2012,
or before the end of March.  No details of the systems
themselves were given out, although Apple is most likely to use
Intel's Ivy Bridge processors. The 22 nanometer chips are
believed due in or near March and may be instrumental to getting
longer battery life and faster graphics.  Separate retail
contacts also argued that Apple would drop the price on existing
MacBook Air models in the run-up to the update. The claim
appears more speculative than based in fact, however, as Apple
rarely cuts prices on unsubsidized devices if
