The Apple MacBook Air 2019 is one of the highly-anticipated laptops expected to hit the market this year. Aside from the usual upgrades and new features that come into a typical release, the MacBook Air 2019 is also expected to be cheaper compared to its contemporaries.
Rumors regarding the upcoming MacBook Air running on macOS Catalina came from noted analyst Jeff Lin. His report provided an insider detail about the specs of the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro and the Retina MacBook Air. Both laptops are expected to sport new processors and are slated to be released in September. Lin also noted that the two laptops would run on the new Apple operating system, macOS 10.15.
Another interesting piece of rumor about the upcoming MacBook Air 2019 is that it will be cheaper compared to previous iterations. While this is a great perk, some hardcore enthusiasts speculate that Apple might compromise the laptop's computing power to break even with its supposed pricing scheme.
Taking a cue from its predecessor, an entry-level MacBook starts at around the $1000 price point. Should Apple decide to play along with the rumors, the upcoming MacBook laptop will be surely making waves in the tech industry.
A significant drop in price is interesting, but what will surely entice buyers is if Apple decides to pack the MacBook Air 2019 with equally impressive specs. As for the MacBook Air, there is significant rumor pointing towards a possible Core i9-9980HK processor at its heart. Rumors also point to a possible Vega 20 graphics cards with an impressive 4GB of HBM2 video memory which is more than sufficient to handle some of the latest triple-A titles and even the resource hungry video editing software.
In terms of processing power, the abundance of newly released Intel ninth-generation and Ryzen chips will surely make an interesting build for Apple. Nevertheless, the tech giant is known for its proclivity to pick Intel chips to power its devices and then shop around the tech market for its graphics processors.
Regardless of what the 2019 MacBook lineup will look like, Apple will surely beat the previous iterations of its popular laptop lineup. May that is on aesthetic design, hardware capabilities, or software support, Apple always delivers, and the 2019 MacBook lineup is no exception to this. Although Apple is not known for its price-friendly lineup, there is still room for the tech giant to prove that it can play in the entry-level market.
