It is not clear if the $899 price point of the 2016 MacBook Air will be for its 13-inch variant or its 15-inch variant.
It shall also feature a USB Type-C port, and a Retina display screen which would greatly improve users’ screen viewing experience through richer color and vibrant hues via a 178-degree viewing angle to enhance the display to its fullest.
The very competitive price point will make the device really worth the wait as Apple is not known to offering its products at a low introductory offer.
While the 2016 MacBook Air is not a hybrid laptop-tablet, Apple is said to be positioning its latest laptop line to give the upcoming Microsoft laplet, the Surface Pro 4, a run for the consumers’ money.
Both devices offer portability but in terms of price, the Surface Pro 4 is far too expensive when compared to the 2016 MacBook Air. The Surface Pro 4 will also be sporting Skylake processors and will come out with the Windows 10 already onboard.
The Surface Pro 4 will come in 12-inch and 14-inch variants and will have at least 4GB of RAM, an internal storage beginning at 128GB that can go all the way to 1TB. Microsoft is reportedly positioning its Surface Pro 4 to go up against the iPad Pro as well.
