According to a technical specification sheet for the new entry-level 13-inch MacBook <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/28/updated-macbook-air-line-to-offer-slightly-faster-processors-not-much-else/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0066aa; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">obtained by</a><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">9to5Mac</em>, the new model will feature a faster 1.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz. However, this is a relatively minor increase in processing power, since Apple’s <a href="https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/specs.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0066aa; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">current entry-level model</a> already features a 1.3GHz Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz.</div> <div class="ym" id="ym_648921352803917765" style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.625em; margin-bottom: 1.625em; padding: 0px;"> Other than the processor upgrade, it appears that the new MacBook Air model will retain the same overall design and other technical specifications. Like the current model, the new 13-inch MacBook Air also features a 1440 by 900 pixel resolution display and a standard 128GB of flash storage. The new model also offers the same 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Intel HD Graphics 5000 card.
