TAIPEI: The latest model of Apple's ultra-light MacBook Air is scheduled to hit the market by the end of this month, media in the computer manufacturing hub of Taiwan reported.

The first shipment of the next-generation MacBook Air - the thinnest line of Apple's notebook computers, shorn of a hard drive and optical disc player - will be 380,000 units, the Taipei-based Economic Daily News said.

An 11.6in model will account for 55% of the units in the first batch, and a 13.3in model the rest, according to the paper.

It said that about 90% of MacBook Airs would be assembled by Taiwan's Quanta Computer, a leading contract computer manufacturer. - AFP/Relaxnews 2011
