At the recent WWDC conference, Apple announced updates to the MacBook Air laptop. The processor was upgraded to Intel's third generation Core i5 and i7 processors, and a faster solid state disc was added. The onboard Facetime camera resolution is now 720p.
Screen size and resolution options remain the same. Prices hold steady, too, starting at $999 for the model with an 11 inch screen. [Update: That's actually a $100 price drop.]
