Apple is preparing three new laptops
expected to launch next month at Apple's annual WWDC conference, Bloomberg
reported on Tuesday.
Apple could release a refreshed version of
the 12-inch MacBook with a new Intel chip, according to the report.
One of the complaints about Apple's
MacBook laptop is that the current processor is optimized for battery life, not
for performance. A new model using a different Intel chip could make the device
more attractive to a wider swath of users, possibly at the expense of battery
life.
New versions of the MacBook Pro with
faster Intel chips are also planned for launch.
Apple may update its least expensive
laptop, the MacBook Air, with a new processor as well.
For the past few years, Apple's hasn't
launched hardware at its annual developer conference, but it appears to be
gearing up to do so this year — previous rumors have suggested a smart speaker or a new iPad Pro.
Last fall, Apple launched MacBook Pros
with a touchscreen integrated into the keyboard. Although the company says
sales of the new laptops are robust, many professional users who wanted a new
high-end laptop were disappointed.
