V-am spus aseara ca Apple ar putea lansa o versiune neagra a MacBook Air in luna iulie. De aseara si pana acum au aparut informatii noi care contesta aceasta lansare si explica faptul ca Apple ar fi incercat sa produca un asemenea model insa testele facute l-au convins pe Steve Jobs sa renunte momentan la lansarea sa. Se pare ca metoda folosita de catre Apple pentru a vopsi carcasa MacBook Air ar fi avut drept rezultat final o carcasa care retine uleiurile eliminate de corpul uman deci probabil in timp s-ar fi decolorat ori poate aspectul s-ar fi schimbat radical si nu intr-un mod placut.
The rumors that the next iteration of the MBA’s will have an optional black finish is grounded in truth.
We tried to powder coat the Air’s (and Pro’s for that matter) in black as a test run. There are more than a few floating around campus.
The coating looks good and holds up well, but it also soaks up body oils, making the palm rest look pretty gross. Ultimately that is the reason that the top brass (Jobs) killed the idea… it was just too easy to make the computer look like crap.
At some point we may offer a black coating, but it won’t be powder coat, and it won’t be anytime soon.
Povestea aceasta vine de la un presupus angajat al Apple deci nu este 100% sigura insa pare credibila avand in vedere ca lansarea versiunii albe a iPhone 4 a fost amanata cu un an din cauza vopselei folosite. In concluzie, nu vom avea un MacBook Air negru anul acesta insa poate pana anul viitor Apple isi va rezolva problemele.
