Rumours Swirl about new MacBooks

There are lots of rumours flowing around the market about two new Apple MacBooks. Our friends at IHS Markit certainly believe that there will be two versions, each with a 13.3″ display with 2560 x 1600 resolution (16:10). One might replace the 12″ MacBook Air. The current 13″ MacBook Air is expected to drop out of the range because it has a non-Retina display.

Analyst Comment

Other sources suggest a possible OLED display, but we think that would be very unlikely. In the past, dropping the lower resolution MacBooks might have been a challenge in terms of power efficiency, but technologies such as LTPS and oxide transistor substrates can boost efficiency. (BR)
