Apple allegedly looking into MacBook Air WiFi issue, replacing machines

We've been hearing from several of our readers about an issue with WiFi stability on Apple's latest (and greatest) Haswell-equipped MacBook Air. The problem appears to be rare but is clearly affecting some users. 9to5Mac learned today that Apple's supposedly aware of the issue and working on a fix. As a result, the company's directed its Genius Bar employees to "capture" machines that are experiencing the problem-- i.e. return them to Cupertino for testing. Some customers have also reported getting their systems replaced by Apple. We've reached out to the company for comment and we'll keep you posted. In our recent review, the newest MacBook Air impressed us with its solid performance and incredible battery life. It's also Apple's first computer with 802.11ac.
