According to PhoneNews, Apple is preparing to release an updated version of the MacBook Air very soon. The design of the coveted laptop will more than likely stay the same, however, the insides should see a substantial power and hardware boost.
The new MacBook Air however, will trade that CPU out for a standard Penryn-class Core 2 Duo. And, as such, the CPU will be able to dramatically increase, from 2.0 GHz and potentially beyond. As such however, power drain will increase. Apple will curb that constraint with a higher-capacity battery. However, we can confirm that the new MacBook Air will require a 60W power adapter to fully charge, much like the current MacBook family.
With the announcement of this system, national retailers are being notified, under NDA of course, to be prepared for an imminent upgrade.
