Ever since the release of the new MacBook Airs last year, consumers complained due to Apple’s choice of using the obsolete Intel Core 2 Duo processors. As always, the refresh cycle of Macs is upon us which brings a lot of curiosity if a new MacBook Air will release with the updated Sandybridge processors. Reports and rumors have been circulating ever since a few months ago, but now with the supply constraints of the current MacBooks, it seems reasonable that a refresh is coming.
AppleNApps states: Sources have indicated to AppleNApps that Apple has an internal launch date of July 19th for Mac OS X Lion and a refresh of the MacBook Airs. This is the target date under which the company is currently operating, though both sources are indicating that things can change. Our sources have just seen indications, and can’t be entirely certain, but if everything goes according to plan there will be a new MacBook Air shipping with Lion starting July 19th.
So the only reason it’s not being released now is due to the new Mac OS X Lion.
