The upcoming MacBook Air 2016 is now expected to come in three versions as recent reports suggest that it will have three different display sizes.
In an article, Christian Today noted that the new MacBook installment will likely come with a 15-inch Retina Display having 2304 x 1440 pixels. It added that there could also be two other versions of the device - a 13-inch and an 11-inch -which will cater to the needs of a variety of Apple laptop users.
With three versions coming, the company will be making competition tougher in the market especially among other laptop producers.
Expected to be made official this coming October, the MacBook Air 2016 is anticipated to come with Core-M based Skylake processors, expected to be released in two month's time.
Discussing the top-of-the-line features of the laptop, MasterHerald noted that these processors will make the MacBook perform better, improving its power compared to the currently used Broadwell-based Core M processors. This new set of processors is expected to be launched later this year or by the beginning of 2016.
"The 28-watt mobile Skylake chips generally share the same silicon as the 15-watt chips with higher-end graphics configurations," added The Motley Fool.
With the introduction of Skylake processors, VC Post said that it will open the possibility for the 2016 MacBook Air to have wireless charging.
MacRumors noted that Apple has already explored wireless charging based from the company's previous patents though it did not really push through to incorporate the feature. "Apple was rumored to be experimenting with wireless charging capabilities for the Apple Watch, but went with a MagSafe-style option instead," added the report.
In a similar report, MacWorld said many are hoping that the upcoming MacBook air will have a retina display just like in the Pro models.
Apple said that the retinal display feature greatly improves the viewing experience of the users with its incredible detail.
"It reduces glare while maintaining incredible color and quality. Its high contrast ratio results in blacker blacks and whiter whites. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you'll see the difference at practically any angle. And you're going to love what you see," added the description on the Apple website.
The device is also predicted to have a minimalist appearance with some tweaks in the design. The 2016 MacBook Air is also rumored to have the USB-C port, which, according to PCMag, looks like a micro USB connector but is slightly thicker. It has the Lightning and MagSafe feature.
Because of these features, the MacBook Air 2016 is a promising device which will surely delight Apple fans waiting for its release in the market.
