AppleInsider: new MacBook Air ‘certain’ to be 11.6-inches, may have flash-based instant-wake ability

Rumors of an 11.6-inch MacBook Air refresh are nothing new at this point, but AppleInsider says it’s confirmed a smaller version of Apple’s ultraportable is coming at next week’s “Back to the Mac” event , and that units are rolling off factory lines right now in preparation for near-immediate delivery. AI also says it’s been told the the revised machine will feature a novel new storage system called “SSD Card” that looks like a stick of RAM — a smaller form factor that would obviously allow the new Air to be even smaller, and possibly sport instant-on wake times, something that’s been rumored from other sources this week as well. We’ll be at the event live next week so we’ll see what happens — keep it locked right here.
