Apple today updated their MacBook Air ultra-slim notebooks with the latest 3rd-generation (Ivy Bridge) Intel Core processors, faster graphics and flash storage that is up to twice as fast as the previous generation, with prices starting $100 lower than before.

The new integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 is up to 60 percent faster and gives the MacBook Air plenty of power to tackle games and videos. MacBook Air features flash storage up to four times faster than traditional hard drives for instant-on performance and fast access to your apps and data. Now with 4GB of faster memory, configurable up to 8GB, you can run memory-intensive apps with ease. MacBook Air also features a new FaceTime HD camera that delivers high-definition 720p.
