Apple should start mass production of new MacBook Air models in late May, Concord Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo tells AppleInsider. The information is said to come from checks with suppliers and system builders in Asia. The update should be particularly significant, upgrading the Air's processor options from Core 2 Duos to low- or ultra-low voltage models of the Core i5 and i7, based on Intel's Sandy Bridge platform. Sandy Bridge also includes advanced integrated graphics technology, which could mean that Apple will bypass using integrated NVIDIA chips.
