The next round of information is rumoured to come in 2.5 weeks. That is when WWDC is scheduled, and we hope for announcements of new products. The Macbook Pro is rumoured to have the bigger refresh, so it might get all the attention. The air might only get a spec bump so no big announcement until it happens.

WWDC is for the Pros. Apple has never refreshed both the Pros and the Airs at the same time. But I'd love to be wrong on this.

No, I think that's Apple's MO. They tend to release the MBP's, MP's, etc. along with OS X and iOS @ WWDC. The other items like the Mini, and MBA's [and old MB's] at a different event.

I bought MBA few days ago, so the new MBA are expected at least september or october 2012

Nope. If not WWDC (and I highly doubt this prediction anyway), then end of July or early August.

Late September and early October are reserved for the iPhone

So what to do in the mean time for those of us that need a laptop/notebook but have a desktop Mac? I'm dying here! LOL

That means bigger batteries like the new Ipad which has a battery of 42 Whr, the Ipad2 only 25 Whr .(double charge time)

But the Ivy bridge processor will consume less.

Still I believe more power will be needed , I am buying the present model..

If you had bought it a few months ago the new stuff would be out by now!

Why did you wait so long?!? Now you've pushed the release out!

I would certainly prefer June (or early July) but worst case I don't think they'll release it any later than early-to-mid August. They definitely need to release before students go back to school. It's the entry-level Mac notebook with a sexy form factor and that has student written all over it imo.

I'm really looking forward to getting it but I personally need a new laptop before next term and I could definitely use the Ultrabook form factor. If I can't get my hands on one before the second last/last week of August, I'm going PC. Maybe I'm the only one in this boat but I highly doubt it.

I've got a feeling Apple isn't going to want to cannibalize mbp sales by upgrading what is arguably already a good mbp replacement.

I think they'll give the new mbps at least a couple of months in the sun before they re-up the airs. My guess - August 20th

 

[Confuzzzed]

If a new MBA is released before August (and really my instinct says autumn but wanted to be safe), I will eat my hat
