New MacBook Airs, Mac minis and Lion usher in age of Thunderbolt
By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla
It's been an Apple extravaganza with updated MacBook Airs (now with backlit screens, Intel Core i5 processors and Thunderbolt ports), spanking new Mac Minis (sans optical drive) but with more powerful processors and up to 8GB of RAM. Apple also released the world's first 27" inch Thunderbold display with a built in Facetime camera. It was also time to bid goodbye to the white MacBook which has been discontinued for good.
