It is expected that a new MacBook Air will be released in the middle of July 2011 (in a few days).
This is of course all speculation:
Most Probable:
- 17W Sandy Bridge Processors (i5/i7 in the 13 inch, possibly i3/i5 or i5/i7 in the 11 inch)
- Thunderbolt port
Very Likely:
- Improved SSD technology
- Improved facetime camera
On the table but really nothing we can count on:
- Backlit keyboard
- 4GB standard RAM
- Increased baseline storage capacity of SSD
On the table but leaning toward more unlikely:
- 25W i7 chip in the 13-inch model
Unlikely/Major stretch:
- Some sort of graphics solution beyond the HD 3000
- Screen improved to IPS panel
- Improved screen resolution
- Significantly notable battery life improvement
- Notable change to the shell
- Built-in 3G or 4G network card or something of the sort (Apple’s push for cloud; could be more likely than just a major stretch)
- Improved screenspace use (particularly a larger screen while maintaining the same enclosure, or slightly smaller enclosure in the 11.6-inch version which has quite a thick border around the screen)
