Macbook Air Firmware Update

The MacBook Air is a hell of a machine, a computer that created an entirely new class in the PC market. No wonder it’s absolutely dominating sales, with 56% of all ultrabooks sold being — surprise! — MacBook Airs.

According to new data released by market research firm NPD, Apple sold 56% of all ultrabooks in the first half of 2013. And those numbers don’t take into account the fact that Apple just released a new MacBook Air with Haswell technology inside that bumps the 13-inch MacBook Air to an astonishing 13 hours of battery life.

Of course, Apple selling the most computers isn’t new. Right now, Apple’s line of Macs generates more profit than the other top five PC makers combined. Who says the PC is dying?
