Apple has so far stayed tight-lipped about a Macbook Air household refresh, but speculations surrounding the upcoming lineup continue to gather from all corners. The Cupertino giant has long been rumoured to be planning to unveil a cheaper MacBook Air, and brand-new reports recommend that the launch might not be far.

The release of a brand-new MacBook Air with a lower price was initially expected throughout the second quarter of 2018, perhaps at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2018, however reports had actually declared that the production was delayed to the 2nd half of 2018. Based on a Digitimes report, Apple has actually scheduled the launch of the new MacBook series featuring Intel’s 14nm Kaby Lake processor for next month. Mentioning industry sources, the report declares that the new model could be priced at $1,200.
