Apple Unveils 13.3-Inch MacBook Air Starting at 1.32 Million Won

Performance Doubled Compared to Previous Generation Based on i7 Processor
Scissor-Switch Keyboard Applied, Previously Used in MacBook Pro

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Apple has unveiled a new 13.3-inch MacBook Air. The CPU performance has improved up to twice as much, and it features the Magic Keyboard previously used in the MacBook Pro.

On the 18th (local time), Apple announced, "The new MacBook Air offers faster performance, a new Magic Keyboard, and double the storage capacity."

The MacBook Air comes with a 13.3-inch Retina display (resolution 2560*1600). The model equipped with a maximum 1.2GHz quad-core i7 processor delivers twice the performance of the previous model, and GPU performance has improved by 80%, making video editing much easier. Storage options range from 256GB to 2TB.

The Magic Keyboard, which was applied to the 16-inch MacBook Pro, has also been installed in the new MacBook Air. Until now, Apple had chosen the butterfly keyboard to achieve a thinner laptop thickness, but this time it opted for a scissor-switch keyboard. The key travel is 1mm, allowing for quiet typing. It supports Touch ID, so placing a finger on the Touch ID sensor unlocks the MacBook Air or documents protected by a password.

The domestic release schedule is undecided. The Core i3 processor model (256GB) starts at 1,320,000 KRW, and the Core i5 processor model (512GB) is priced at 1,720,000 KRW. The education model costs $899 in the U.S., but it has not yet been announced on the domestic website. Colors available are Space Gray, Gold, and Silver, and the weight is 1.29kg.
