A report from J.P. Morgan shows that the market of Ultra-thin notebook reserves big profit margins. Many producers, including Acer, HP and Sony, are getting involved in the field of Ultra-thin notebook. However, Apple's MacBook Air will still be the kind of Ultra-thin notebook for a very long time.
Although the competition of Ultra-thin notebook market is getting heating up day after day, but the cost of this kind of note book is still a big problem for producers. So far, most of the Ultra-thin notebook's price is more than $1000, only few of them is around $900. The price is still too high for most of the customers. In fact, MacBook Air's price is also expensive. According to the different models and configuration, its price is between $999 to $1599. Some analysts said, it receives much more attention than other competitors because its superiority in functions and specification and it comes out much earier than others. In contrast, other producer's Ultra-thin notebook are available in the market much later than MacBook Air and do not have superiority in functions and price. So it is really difficult for them to shake the market share of Apple MacBook Air.
Analysts also point out that, as MacBook Air's strong growth, in the next 12 months, its sales will reach over $7 billion, and sell 1.6 million for each quarter. If this come true, Apple will thank China's market. In the third quarter, MacBook's sale in China rise 339% than the same period of last year. And it will rise in the future.
For now, in the sales of MacBook Air around the world, USA and EMEA takes 73.9% and some new markets' share is rising constantly. Analyst said as the price is still high for most of the customers, now some new markets is not the main increase of MacBook Air's sales, but after the price is going lower, this will change. In addition, as iPhone and iPad is fast occupying the new market around the planet and Apple's affect will become a nice halo effect, Apple's system will be much more perfect than now. All the things above is a good news for the sales on MacBook Air.
Apple MacBook Air comes at the right time when people are getting tired with giant laptop. When you hear about it, you just fall in love with it without any hesitation. MacBook Air 2011 makes itself more fast and more powerful. 4GB of DDR3 memory is found on all but the base 11-inch model, which gets by with half that. SSDs are standard across the board, starting at 64GB for the 11 and going up to 256GB for the top-shelf 13-inch. Intel HD 3000 graphics power the lot and stock processors include 1.6GHz and 1.7GHz Core i5's, though a 1.8GHz Core i7 is available for $100 more. When it comes to displays nothing has changed: the 13-inch model features a 1440 x 900 glossy, LED-backlit panel while the 11 still does 1366 x 768. We spent our time testing the 13-inches and, as before, it continues to impress when it comes to contrast, brightness, and viewing angles, which are plenty wide enough to enable two-person, coach-class viewing of that latest episode of Top Gear. Contrast is helped by the glossy sheen here -- and no, you still can't option out a matte unit.
