New Apple MacBook Airs Next Week?

Are you waiting on a new MacBook Air? You might have to wait a little bit longer. According to AllThingsD an announcement won't come until next Thursday or Friday.

Many Apple-watching blogs said that the new machines would be announced this week, but according to an AllThingsD source, "the rumor sites are off by a week."

9to5Mac reported earlier this week that there are four new MacBook Airs in the works, two with 11-inch screens and two with 13-inch screens. Apple will allegedly release a base model and an upgraded version of both sizes. According to AppleInsider, the laptops will come standard with 4GB of RAM.

Other specs rumored to be included in the new MacBook Airs are Sandy Bridge processors, new high-speed Thunderbolt ports, backlit keyboards, and memory configuration of 128GB or 256GB. AppleInsider also claims these laptops will ship with Apple's new operating system, Mac OS X Lion.

It's also been rumored that an upgraded white MacBook and a new line of Mac minis will debut soon. 9to5Mac claimed a few days ago that there will be three new Mac minis: a standard model, a server model, and a third version with a faster processor that can be custom built in Apple's online store.

Four new Mac Pros could be coming soon, too. 9to5Mac maintains that Apple will launch these devices toward the end of July or the beginning of August. There will reportedly be a new server model and the 16-core version of the machine will supposedly get a revamped enclosure.

Apple has not commented on the rumors.
