Apple’s new 12 inch Macbook Air will be available starting tonight along with Apple Watch
The much awaited Apple’s new 12-inch MacBook will be available to buyers starting 12.00 am PST on Friday, 10th April. ย The all new 12-inch MacBook is based on minimalism and comes with only Type-C USB port both for charging and connecting USB drives. It weighs only 2 pounds, looks sleek, decent battery and a new redesigned keyboard.
The new Macbook is officially being made available to buy at 12am PST on Friday, April 10. That’s when the the product page on Apple’s website will presumably replace the the “coming soon” button with a “buy now” button.
At ย present even the estimated delivery date is not known but knowing Apple, the shipments should start tonight itself.
The brick and mortar stores could see a rush of buyers for the gold, silver and gray Macbooks starting tomorrow like we have seen on the day of iPad an and iPhone release dates.
