Apple to Launch New MacBook Air in June-July?

Apple is planning to launch an updated MacBook Air featuring Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt in June or July, according to DigiTimes.

Main supply chain makers for the new models remain about the same as for the existing MacBook Air, with Quanta Computer solely responsible for assembly, Catcher Technology supplying casings, Auras Technology a main supplier of thermal modules, Shin Zu Shing supplying hinges, and Simplo Technology and Dynapack supplying batteries, the sources pointed out. However, none of the makers have confirmed their participation in making new MacBook Airs.


Apple updated its MacBook Pro lineup in February and its iMac in April; however, the MacBook Air, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro have yet to be updated.
