New photos leaked online apparently show the display portion of the forthcoming, eagerly-anticipated 12-inch MacBook Air: a device rumored to be Apple’s first Retina MacBook Air model.
In the photos, the display is compared in size to various current Apple devices, including existing MacBook models and the iPad Air 2.
Personally, I can’t wait for it! Feast your eyes on some of the other photos after the jump:
The 12-inch Retina MacBook Air reportedly entered production early this year, manufactured by Quanta Computer. It was previously rumored that the notebook may ship in iPhone-inspired silver, gold and space gray color options, though today’s images only show the one color.
Because of the lack of a complete system, it is impossible to gauge too many details about the model — although it is thought that it will boast Intel’s Broadwell processors, and a slimmer chassis redesign, brought on by eliminating the fan assembly, which is part of the reason the current Air is thicker on one end than the other.
The one extra notable difference visible from the leaked images is that the Apple logo on the back shows a polished metal logo similar to the one that appears on the iPad. This means that Apple could be looking to do away with the light-up Apple logo found on its existing MacBook models. (Then again, it could prove that these pictures are less than legit!)

This shows nothing other than the logo, where is that usb port that was talked about?
Can you read?
“New photos leaked online apparently show the display portion…”
What does the headline say? Colorer has apple displays that look like this, this “leak” means nothing.
You didn’t even read the first sentence, so nothing you say matters.
I read the entire article dickhead. Again, it means nothing.
Nope, try again. Use logic this time.
I’m done feeding the troll. Judging from your past comments you are very experienced in this area.
Nah. You don’t understand what a troll is, which is strange since you have first-hand experience with it. Keep trying.
Notice the BMW interior
I’d like to know what is underneath the pixelated corners.
Possibly stickers saying, “Fake”.
