Air casing will be made of carbon fiber
Many Apple enthusiasts, who gladly bought the “thinnest in the world” Macbook Air laptop, were pleased with its small size, but were surprised to find that it was heavier than one could imagine for such a super-slim device. They say that losing weight Macbook Air - is the main task, which is now facing Apple engineers.
Perhaps in the next version, the laptop will become lighter by 100 g. According to the available rumors , Apple is looking for an opportunity to make a lower part of the carbon fiber (HC) case. It is an extremely lightweight, durable and heat-resistant material that is better than aluminum in many ways. Recently, computer vendors have begun to use HC, for example, Sony and HP (in the Voodoo model).
At the moment, the distribution of weight on components for Macbook Air looks like.

It is said that from the start, only the lower part of the case will be made of hydrocarbons, which is now made of aluminum and weighs 152 g. If you make this simple part from the HC, then the laptop will immediately feel better from 1363 to 1263.
