Apple to Release 15-Inch MacBook Air in April?

A new report from ElectricPig says Apple will release a 15-inch MacBook Air in April.

Electricpig spent a couple of hours at CU Exposed yesterday, the UK's premier, if hilariously-named, showcase for Mac accessories. Alongside continued coos about how the new iPad's display will ruin everything else in sight, we heard word from one anonymous vendor that Apple's likely to launch a 15-inch MacBook Air in April, effectively killing the Pro for the average consumer.

This information correlates with rumors we've been hearing for quite some time. DigiTimes, Macotakara, and MacRumors have all reported on the device.


ElectricPig's source is a 'key player' in MacBook docking solutions and is quite certain that the new notebook with no optical drive and no ethernet will launch soon.

While our source wasn't certain that this would completely destroy the Pro (he also stated that Apple might hold on to the 17-inch model, which would make sense for the sizeable audience of professional editors out there), he was fairly sure that the shakeup will happen in April. To that end, our source's company's got its manufacturers on standby to be able to make and ship a new product lineup inside of 90 days.
