Apple updates the MacBook Air, axes the white MacBook

Apple updates the MacBook Air is thin and light laptop on Wednesday, the much anticipated release of Mac OS X Lion, and unceremoniously removed beléposzintu white MacBook line.
The new MacBook Air, which is not an optical drive (another example of Apple users to achieve a diskless), has grown faster Intel processor - 1.6 GHz dual-core low-end i5 11 - inch model , 1.8 GHz dual-core Core i7. The Core i7 i5 and known to be very strong, chip-term variations in the line of Apple  and MacBook Pro and iMac.
A backlit keyboard and a port light enters the atmosphere of the update. The lightning speed data port 10 gigabit per second, much faster than USB 2.0, which transmission of 480 megabits per second. But now there are not many external hard drives, cameras and other items that use the port due to the cost of implementing the technology - sells for $ 49 Cable Lightning.
Despite changes in the price range of the MacBook Air remains the same, the $ 999 to $ 1,699.
MC207_AV1 Now take $ 999 11-inch MacBook Air Base, which is responsible for Apple to kill the beloved white polycarbonate MacBook laptop. I do not know that this argument - a Tuesday morning, Apple officials available for comment on why the white MacBook starts the ax.
Without notifying the White MacBook (also started with $ 999 and had a 13-inch) and stopped at the Apple  s online store. Some older models of Apple  and the new MacBook  and online, but the new models.
This step is omitted in the Apple MacBook polycarbonate, presented for the first time since 2001, iBook G3 laptop without a solid white for sale. Walking almost every American college campus in the last decade is a testament to the enormous popularity of Apple  and low-end laptops, this step is a bit surprising.
But if Apple does not consider it necessary to support the entry-level laptop, the MacBook Air, it now appears that the MacBook is much less sense than Steve Jobs and other leaders of Cupertino. Now all Apple laptops (and desktops for that matter) dressed in silver foil.
Those who want a laptop and hard drive, or a pair of MacBook Air in an extra $ 79, buy a more expensive laptop MacBook Pro, or see a lot of Apple  competitors.
