And take rumors: MacBook Air will use SanDisk SSD, according to Lazard Capital analyst

You can file this rumor in the folder “I want to believe”after all, he comes from a category analyst who tends to make a mistake (ugly) when it comes to Apple. According to Barron’s, Danile Amir of Lazard Capital said today that the new 11.6-inch MacBook Air will not feature an HDD option, making exclusive use of SSDs from SanDisk and Samsung.

The traditional supplier of this type of component to Ma is the second, but we already know how much pressure iPods, iPhones and iPads already exert on its supplies, so it makes sense that other sources should be sought. Amir also said in his note that the solid state drives should be limited to 64GB and 128GB, costing Apple US $ 100,200 each, in a universe of 700,900 units sold only by SanDisk just "the beginning of a lasting partner".

Time for skepticism! What are the sources? Why is NASDAQ: SNDK falling more than 0.8% now? Was the SSD in the image of the alleged prototype not from Toshiba? Will put two of those MacBooks in one envelope?
