[ReadWrite]

Apple has some new computers coming. At its World Wide Developers Conference on Monday, Apple announced two updated MacBook Air laptops and a brand new desktop PC, improving battery life and giving new features and capabilities to power users.

The New Mac Pro    

Mac Pro is Apple's fully redesigned desktop computer deck for power users such as designers, video producers and music makers. Just an eighth the size of the previous model, the new Mac Pro can hook up to three high-powered 4K displays (also known as Ultra HD). The graphics processing unit is 2.5-times faster than the previous version. The Mac Pro also has faster Flash memory and Thunderbolt 2 connectivity.

Due later this year, pricing for the Mac Pro was not immediately available. And in a make-good on the companies earlier promises, the Mac Pro will be assembled in the United States.

The New MacBook Airs    

Apple also announced two new versions of its popular MacBook Air laptops. The improvements come mostly to battery life, as the company pushes towards a battery that will last the user all day. The 11-inch MacBook Air's battery has improved from five hours of use to nine hours. The 128GB version of the 11-inch MacBook Air sells for $999. The 13-inch MacBook Air's battery improves from seven hours to 13 hours and sells for $1099 for the 128GB version. Both improved versions of the MacBook Air start shipping today.
