When there are only a few days left for Apple's Keynote on the 30th, rumors are just around the corner. Many of them are related to the MacBook Air, specifically on whether this model will be one of Apple's renovations.
You will most likely see a renovation of 13-inch computers, turned into the new MacBook 12-inch, with important new features, but without the "surname" Air. It remains to be seen what happens with other models and the direction chosen by the company with the entry models to the Mac ecosystem, in the entry or cheaper model.
The news in this regard is provided by a client from Apple's education sector, who requested several MacBook Air, iPad and Apple Pencil. Apple has stock for iPads, but relegates the delivery of the MacBook Air to a date after October 3. Coincidence or not, everything seems to indicate that Apple will change the product and does not want to provide a customer with a Mac that will be renewed in a matter of days.
That said, there is no more information about what Apple will present in this segment. Some voices speak of a renewal of current equipment, since the base of it is fully amortized and the production cost of the equipment is minimal. Another aspect bets on the inevitable replacement of the Air brand, for the current MacBook, as a symbol of the brand's ultra-portable. Be that as it may, perhaps the decision to wait and see what Apple presents, is the most successful.
The latest rumors speak of the starting price of Apple's new entry team. Digitimes, for example, talk about $ 1200, where in Europe it would be sold at a similar amount in Euros. We also hope to see other specifications of the MacBook or with the last name that you want to carry. On the other hand, this model does not have to be the only one that Apple will present on the 30th. At least one is expected Mac mini renewal and it remains to be seen which segment or segments to cover, since in recent weeks it focused on more Pro segment.
