[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1628779, member: 24160"] Everymac also states it is the exact same machine and that they are only listing it as an early 2014 model... because it is a custom upgrade option to the 1.4 CPU and as a customer "convenience". ([URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook-air/specs/macbook-air-core-i7-1.7-13-early-2014-specs.html"]link[/URL]) I could be way off base here, but this further leads me to believe that there has not been a change at the production line where the 1.7 models are assembled that would differentiate it from the mid '13 model - which it happens to be. It is not a new for 2014 model computer, no matter what folks would like for it to be. And doesn't matter whether it's the 11" or the 13". If it has the 1.7 CPU, it is the mid '13 model. The difference - this year it is $100 cheaper and the 1.7 is an upgrade option from the 1.4 instead of an upgrade option from the 1.3 chip. The serial and manufacture date would tell the tale. And, if Apple has started calling an exact same computer a different model, this would indeed be a first that I am aware of. [/QUOTE]
