New Macbooks & Mac Minis To Arrive Soon

Apple is likely to soon announce a refresh to their Macbook and Mac Mini range. Originally it was thought that leaked part numbers outed an impending Macbook Air and Mac Pro refresh, however, a source close to 9to5 has come forward and claimed the part numbers are for a Macbook and Mac Mini refresh.

It is likely that a Macbook refresh will see Thunderbolt support and faster processors.

You have to wonder why Apple persist with the white Macbook at this stage. I personally fully expected the Macbook not to have another run out and instead be laid to rest. Apple already offer a Macbook, the 11″ Air, at a price under $1,000 and the entry-level white Macbook doesn’t fit the current aluminum range of Macbooks, so why persist? Seems a strange decision to me.

Apple is also expected to refresh their Mac Mini range with Thunderbolt and faster processors. Two models will likely be available, a standard model and a mini-server one, with the standard model customizable for performance enhancements.

The full parts are:

  • Macbook - MC914LL/A – J59, BEST – USA
  • Mac Mini - MC936LL/A – J40, ULTIMATE – USA – Mac mini Server
  • Mac Mini - MC815LL/A – J40I, BETTER – USA – Mac mini standard configuration
  • Mac Mini - MC816LL/A – J40, BEST – USA Faster Mac mini (customizable)
It is still expected that Apple will introduce new Macbook Airs and new Mac Pros in the coming weeks.

    I’m checking the App Store like every 15-30 minutes so I can get my hands on Lion and it probably won’t even happen today. What’s wrong with me?

    if the white macbook would have a price of 699 euro it would be fair.

    The aluminum drives some people crazy tactilely and cold aluminum is not a comfortable rest for wrists for some.
