The MacBook Air 2017's release date is still widely argued whether it is coming by any means, but fans are still hopeful that an update to the smooth yet obsolete Apple laptop will finally arrive this year. The latest rumor is that the Cupertino-based company might consider launching an upgrade in April.
Hopes after a MacBook Air 2017 has weakened after a frustrating year for the laptop. Though the current offer of the 2016 version on Best Buy may hint to the forthcoming arrival of an upgraded variation, MacWorld reports.
The retailer lowered the price of the most recent MacBook Air during the last week of February. As of recently, the 13.3-inch laptop is still recorded on the site with a sticker price of $899.99, which is $100 less than the original price. This started speculations that Best Buy is bringing down its costs in suspicion of another Air.
The timing is also suspicious as an Apple event is said to happen soon. In a report by Apple World Today, an event may be held at the 1,000-seat Steve Jobs Theater in the new Apple Campus that will open in April. The production presumes that the tech giant will make announcements with respect to the new iPad lineup on Tuesday, April 4.
But, there is continued report that the MacBook Air won't be upgraded anymore. Speculations propose that Apple will still keep the lightweight laptop in its lineup but will ax it once it gets to be distinctly expensive to keep.
Even though Apple won't spend a lot of attention on the MacBook Air 2017 anymore, industry expectators still expect the Cupertino-based company to release upgrades. As USB Type-C is rapidly turning into the standard, it is also anticipated to arrive in the laptop this year.
Concerning the speculated specs, fans are planning to see an Intel Kaby Lake chip with updated RAM. Various components or features that may finally make the MacBook Air a rival in the computing business includes an E-ink keyboard, trackpad bolster for the Apple Pencil, and Retina display.
Yet, these are all impossible ideas considering that Apple simply knocks up the minimum RAM last year.However, the Cupertino company may even now be planning huge things for the MacBook Air 2017. Fans are encouraged to sit tight for news in April.
