“What would happen if a MacBook and an iPad hooked up?”, Steve Jobs asked his “Back to the Mac” audience today, and answered his own question with the release of two new versions of the MacBook Air, available today starting at $999.
The new duo includes a 13.3-inch, 2.9-pound version, the same display size as the MacBook Air has had since it was introduced in January 2008. But the 13.3-inch model “has a younger brother, too,” Jobs told his audience at the company’s Cupertino campus.
That li’l bro is a new 11.6 inch, 2.3-pound MacBook Air, with a display resolution of 1,336-by-768 pixels; its 13.3-inch big brother’s resolution is 1,440-by-900 pixels.
