New Macbook Air Coming Tomorrow?

Macworld.com.au suggests that a new product might be coming tomorrow, according to a “well-placed source familiar with Apple inventory levels and product refreshes”, the same source who predicted the new Macbook Pros one week before they actually arrived.

“The source says the number, MC516LL/A K87 BETTER BTR-USA, most likely points to a Mac product due to the ‘BETTER’ segment of the product code.

There is some potential it could refer to a 27in display, which has been rumoured to be coming to match the 27in iMacs. However, it looks like there are several thousand on their way to Australia this week, which suggests a major new product.

We’ve also heard whisperings that the current MacBook Air is difficult to come by, despite showing an estimated shipping time of 24 hours on the Apple Store.”

So there you have it. If something’s really coming, be sure to stay tuned tomorrow.
