WWDC in June no macbook air update?

[jjahshik32]

I know there is a rumor for the macbook/macbook pro update but when is the next macbook air update?

 

[Telp]

If i had to guess, probably not by WWDC this year. Its only been out for several months as it is.

 

[jjahshik32]

This is making me want to get one since its still a long way until rev. b comes along.

I want one. Just becuase it looks so damn pretty, but its not ethical for me.

with an mba you would have the radist setup ever. will you adopt me? I play guitar real pretty

I would bet not..... it's too early to update it.

If there is an update (unlikely) then I think we'll see a HDD bump to 160GB, and maybe a small processor update, but like I said, I would bet not.

The processor it was supposed to ship with, the processor that this MBA was made for has been pushed back to Q3-Q4 2008.

So don't expect anything until then.

Not...ethical?

Not ethical? Are you married and plan on having sex with it? Are you going to kill someone with it?

lets hope they come with a bumped HD, that will mean that early adopters will be able to buy one from the market... I have the HDD and am hoping for a bigger option and or a 128G SSD

I think it will be when Intel's ATOM comes out - that is when the next-gen MBA will appear. I am more concerned about the Seagate suit vs SSD manufacturers. Now that is also a factor in play here.

The Atom line is not meant for general-purpose computers, and would not be used in the Air.

The next Air will probably be out in 2H '08 when the 45nm "mini"-Penryns and accompanying chipset are out from Intel.

You won't see a refresh until after the refurb store start selling all the gen. A returns.

My bet is earliest Nov. '08-Feb.'09.

that suit is just getting started, and seagate looks like it will have many fights on its hands... I dont think it will affect anything for a while

to soon, the MBA is fresh for buying, right now!

I mean, we could see a price drop(on the high end model) or a bigger HD/SDD choice, but no new chips/ new design

My bet is earliest Nov. '07-Feb.'08.

Nov. 3007?

hehe well in all seriousness I believe that would be about right. It all depends on when new processors and HDDs and SSDs come out.

 

[NC MacGuy]

I usually catch up on the years about Sept.!!

This is accurate. There are currently no 1.8" drives bigger than the 80hdd/60ssd that is in the Air. The same goes for the processor. Looks like years end at the earliest, and that is just speculation.
