July 5th likely new MBA

Has Apple ever done such a thing??

According to MR yes, but what if the box is already printed with Lion on the screen?

Can't see them not stoking Airs for a month either so it must be coming soon in first half of July.

It's highly likely at this point that Apple will definitely want to ship the new Airs with Lion, since Lion and the MBAs would nicely complement each other in marketing (some brand new hardware to go with some fresh software). At this point, I'd say just sit tight and wait for the GM to appear. At that point, the MBAs should show up the subsequent Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Brazil store says 24h shipping for standard models and 2-3 weeks for BTO. I'm not familiar at all with the Brazil store. Maybe that's standard, maybe they lag behind the US on refreshes, or maybe that's when it's going to go down? Everywhere else seems to be 2-3 days for BTO.

2-3 weeks is what starts to show up when a refresh is on the horizon, especially with international stores. The US store will probably go to 2-3 weeks like half a week before release. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if the Airs came out in 2 weeks.

Looks like that's the case. New 9to5Mac rumor is mid-July.

Bastille day!

Apparently to line up with an earnings call, otherwise the 19th to line up with Tuesdays

Seeing that a lot of current programs don't work fully or at all on Lion I'm actually hoping they come with SL and a free download token or something, that would actually be the smart thing.

Parallels and VMWare not working all the way or not at all is a definite no no for me. Seriously. You read that right.

This is the most recent rumor I could find. Seems like Lion will be released either the 12th, 14th, 15th or 19th of July. I'm leaning towards the 19th.
