November 15, 2010
This month, EveryMac.com features complete specs on the quietly introduced Mac Pro Server that replaces the Xserve line and a comprehensive update to the MacBook Air Q&A to cover the all new 11-Inch and 13-Inch MacBook Air models. Official Geekbench benchmarks also have been updated sitewide.
Additionally, the Currently Shipping, By Year, By Processor, By Case Type, By Capability, and By Identifier Mac specs listings have been updated. The Ultimate Mac Comparison and Ultimate Mac Lookup features all have been updated, too.
The comprehensively updated MacBook Air Q&A answers "What are the differences between the "Late 2010" MacBook Air models and the "Mid-2009" MacBook Air models that they replaced?" and "How do you replace or upgrade the storage in the 'Late 2010' MacBook Air models? Is it even possible?" and everything in between.
If you buy a new MacBook Air, please send in its serial number. The non-personal information will be added to the Ultimate Mac Lookup to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you very much.
