The rumors about a bigger Macbook Air have been floating around the Internet for a while now, however one of the manufacturers confirmed that Apple is planning to release the new 15 Inch Macbook Air in April!

One of Apple’s partners unofficially confirmed that MacBook Air will arrive, in a bigger version, next month.

Technical specifications show that Apple is not going to make many changes to the current design: 15 inch MacBook Air will not have an optical drive or an Ethernet port. The manufacturer said that the new MacBook Air will not replace the old MacBook Pro, and both notebooks will be available on the market simultaneously.

We have no official details about the specifications of the new MacBook Air but Apple might choose a Intel Ivy Bridge processor with Intel HD 400 graphics, 30-40% more powerful than the Intel HD 3000 graphics solution used until now on the MacBook Air family of laptops.
