Apple updates MacBook Air, MacBook Pro with Intel Broadwell CPUs, improved graphics

macbook-air-gallery1-2014As expected, Apple today brought Intel’s latest Broadwell Core i5 and Core i7 processors to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro families, beefing up both laptops with additional CPU and graphics power. Apple’s updated MacBook Airs are shipping today with Intel’s HD Graphics 6000 GPUs, which are smaller, markedly faster, and capable of superior shading/texturing than the 5000-series GPUs they replace. Also shipping today is the updated 13″ MacBook Pro, which will get the new Force Touch trackpad introduced in the all-new 12″ MacBook today, as well as faster flash memory and 10-hour battery life.
A seemingly authentic spec leak showed a new version of the 13″ MacBook Air with an updated Intel Core i5-5250U 1.6GHz CPU, Intel HD Graphics 6000 GPU, and roughly 4% larger 7422mAh battery.
