Apple Predicted to Release Ultra-Slim 12-Inch MacBook in 2014

Apple could be releasing a new ultra-slim 12-inch MacBook with high-resolution Retina display in mid 2014, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

The new MacBook is meant to measure up even thinner than the current MacBook Air and may even be cheaper due to an improving yield rate, reported by Mac Rumors.

“We expected the unprecedented 12″ model will boast both the portability of the 11″ model, and productivity of the 13″ model. The offering will likely be lighter and slimmer than the existing MacBook Air to further highlight ease of portability in the cloud computing era”, says Kuo.

Kuo has generally been quite accurate with his predictions over the past several years, including the introduction of a “third MacBook line” that arrived in the form of Retina MacBook Pro models and the discontinuation of the 17-inch MacBook Pro last year.

There is no confirmation from Apple about the new model and whether the new model would act as a replacement for the current MacBook Air.
