Well our buddy is back with sales figures on the recently refreshed MacBook Air. Although Apple officially revealed it&#8217;s laptop sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 to be numbered at over 2.9 million, it didn&#8217;t break down that number further to give us a figure on how each of its laptop sub-products fared in the market. Kuo states that his recent market checks in Asia show that MacBook Airs accounted for 1.1 million of that 2.9 million sales figure. That&#8217;s about 38% of Apple&#8217;s laptop sales over the course of three months. Kuo originally had estimated about 400,000 Air sales for the fourth quarter. Although Air sales have dropped significantly (40%) this quarter, Kuo expects the refreshed MacBook Pro line to offset those numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
