MacBook Air: 11-inch, 13-inch comes to India

Apple's new MacBook Air, launched in the U.S. at Apple's Back to the Mac event last month, has finally started appearing in retail stores and Apple resellers across India. This includes both the MacBook Air models: the improved 13-inch model and the all new 11-inch MacBook Air ultraportable.

Apart from being thin and light (especially the 11-inch model), the new MacBook Air ultraportables don't feature a spinning drive or an SSD slotted inside. Instead, both the new MacBook Air models sport on-board (soldered onto the motherboard) Flash storage: spanning from 64GB all the way up to 256GB. Both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models sport Intel Core 2 Duo processors and Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics.
