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
