Retina MacBook Air Rumored For Launch This Year

Back in 2012, Apple launched new MacBook Pro laptops with Retina displays, which are basically MacBook Pros with displays with a higher resolution. Now we’re sure many are wondering if Apple could be applying those Retina displays to the company’s lineup of MacBook Air laptops.

Well the good news is that it looks like they will, at least according to a recent report from DigiTimes whose sources claim that they expect Apple to be releasing a MacBook Air with a Retina display later this year.

Based on their report, “However, other Taiwan-based supply chain makers hold the opinion that 2014 MacBook shipments estimates may not be accurate because Apple will launch new models in the second half of 2014. Apple will reportedly launch a MacBook Air with Retina display, the makers said.”

This isn’t the only MacBook Air rumor that we’ve heard recently. In fact a few days ago there was a report about Apple releasing a 12-inch slim MacBook that would do away with the need for a fan and feature a redesigned trackpad. We’re not sure if this particular MacBook is the same Retina MacBook Air that DigiTimes’ report is talking about, but it definitely sounds intriguing.

What do you guys think? Would a Retina MacBook Air be something you might be interested in?
