Earlier this week Apple launched a refreshed version of its Macbook Air lineup. And they did so quietly. I was only alerted to the news thanks to The Verge’s twitter account. The new base model Air is now equipped with Intel’s latest generation Core i5 Haswell processor running at 1.4 GHz, up from the previous Air’s 1.3 GHz. What’s more is that the price of every Air model has been dropped by $100.
