Apple's new MacBook 13 "and 15" "ultra-thin" at the end of Q2 | Rumor

Apple has not announced any renewal of the MacBook range of laptops on the occasion of the press event held yesterday, focused on the new iPhone and iPad Pro SE 9.7. "The appointment with the new MacBook, according to reports provided by Digitimes, would simply postponed by a few months. the source is in fact referring to the start of the new MacBook shipments with display 13 "and 15" set for the end of the second quarter, that is, between late June and early July. It is a pretty terse report, however, contains interesting details.

Provided that in no Digitimes passage refers explicitly to the "Pro" line, the source states that: "the two new MacBooks share a similar design to that of the MacBook 12", but thinner than the MacBook Air. "From the description provided, then it seems plausible an expansion of the MacBook range, which, at present, includes a single model fitted with a 12 "screen. No details on relations between the new models and the current MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines.

What it appears clear, especially in light of a previous common report at the end of 2015, concerns the desire to further refine the design of MacBook laptops intervening in the size parameter. The MacBook Air line, the one most devoted to mobility, until the arrival of the first MacBook, continues to count the two models with display from 11 "and 13", while the only Apple laptop with a 15 "belongs to Pro-line screen.

A renewal of the Apple laptops range is asked by many, especially with regard to the offer of Pro, conditioning models by a new Intel release schedule that, during 2015, he recorded, in particular on the provision hardware model with a 15 "screen, which is still equipped with an Intel CPU-based architecture Haswell. Others wish of more faithfully occasions by users to the Apple brand to the upgrade of the MacBook Air with a model equipped with Retina display. during the 2016, with a range of Intel CPUs Skylake now well structured, the less the CPU update, chipsets and connectivity sector should not be questioned.

Digitimes contextualizes the new rumor about the MacBook in a more complex scenario where laptops, says the source, major players in the notebook market, such as Asus, Dell and Lenovo are committed to renew the ultrabook offer in the same time period (end of the second quarter) with products that will leverage on particularly low thickness to ask the attention of the public. Apple could take advantage of the window of the WWDC 2016 (June 13 to 17 according to the latest rumors) to raise the curtain on the new MacBook.
