If you are among those who are planning to buy a new MacBook Air and you follow the events surrounding this product, then you are probably waiting for the renewal of this series. In its current, very successful generation, it has been on the market since autumn last year. In general, the transition to Sandy Bridge processors and the expansion of the Thunderbolt interface, promising much higher data flows compared to classic USB and FireWire, are expected.

The release of the new MacBook Air is imminent. It was speculated about June, now specified to June-July. The latest information says that the only brake is the start of sales of the new Mac OS X Lion operating system. Of course, Apple would like to release it on new machines. So it looks like a joint launch of Mac OS X Lion on the new MacBook Air.

So customers are asking for new Air models. In anticipation of the new generation, sales are falling, retailers are reducing inventory, geeks like us are "crawling" all sorts of websites and forums in an attempt to know as much as possible and as soon as possible. Today, the MacRumors server added fuel to this sparkling atmosphere, which published information that the new product could also be offered in a black version. He does not mention specific sources and forwards that the information is from unconfirmed, but several sources from which he recently received this tip. Speculation is that black anodized aluminum could appear as an option for the new Air, but probably only for the highest configurations.

Has Apple let us have our fill of silver anodized aluminum? Will it start offering black as an exclusive option in the near future, or is it just trying to cater more to more conservative "bussiness" customers, for whom black is more discreet? The next few days will tell, but I believe the black one would be beautiful, I would take it now.

Isn't it just another "duck"? It will be clear in a few days. Another report from MacRumors says that there are several test MacBook Airs painted with black powder paint. But Jobs suspended the offer of the black version. The black coating looks good, but with wet hands the computer feels rough and cheap to the touch. Maybe we will see in the future.
