Not long ago, Apple updated its line of MacBooks Air. It was not that upgrade we were hoping for, after all, the company only gave a slight improvement to Intel’s “Haswell” processors.

And, most likely because of that, the Economic Daily News informed [Google Tradutor] that Apple has already sent the order for Quanta Computer to start producing the new models (both 11 and 13 inches). Also according to them, these new machines will come with a new chassis, screen and updated processors (including graphics), and should show up around the end of August.
The 12-inch MacBook … well, according to them, “delayed”. It should be in late 2014 or even early 2015, and the reason for that has a name: Intel. This supposed new machine will use the future 14-nanometer “Broadwell” processor. The problem is that Intel will only normalize the production of this chip in the beginning of 2015. It may even be that the Apple gets some agreement to receive a large batch before – something like this has happened in the past -, but this is not guaranteed.
I just still don’t understand where this supposed 12-inch MacBook would fit into the company’s current line of notebooks, made up of 11 ″ and 13 ″ MacBooks Air and 13 ″ and 15 ″ MacBooks Pro. A lone model, 12 ″, under the tutelage of MacBook (without a suffix), doesn’t make much sense. Unless it brings some changes as a whole to the notebook line.
