"&amp;lt;vc&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Following a refresh of its MacBook Pro line of notebooks in April, Apple could update its lightweight MacBook Air this week, with a new model expected to arrive on Tuesday.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nIn April, the Australian &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Macworld&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/04/08/rumor_suggests_apple_could_release_new_macbook_pros_april_13.html\"&amp;gt;correctly reported&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; the arrival of new MacBook Pros. The same source has come again to the Aussie publication, this time to send word of a MacBook Air refresh allegedly set to happen Tuesday.\r\n\r\nThe source said a new product will arrive Tuesday with the model MC516LL/A K87 BETTER BTR-USA. The \"better\" distinction reportedly means it is likely to be a Mac product, leading the tipster to suggest the refresh is a MacBook Air.\r\n\r\nThe report noted that there is \"some potential\" the listing could instead refer to a new 27-inch Cinema Display. But the source said there are several thousand of the product headed to Australia, \"which suggests a major new product.\" In March, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;AppleInsider&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; reported that Apple was working on a &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/03/18/apple_preps_27_inch_led_cinema_display_dodeca_core_mac_pro.html\"&amp;gt;larger version&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; of its LED Cinema Display, with a new 27-inch screen known by the identifier \"K59\" expected to arrive by June.\r\n\r\nFurther evidence for the MacBook Air refresh was provided by the Australian &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Macworld&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;, with \"whisperings\" that the current model is \"difficult to come by.\" However, the lightweight notebook, starting at $1,499 U.S., still ships within 24 hours from Apple's online store.\r\n\r\nIn January, it was suggested that the MacBook Air refresh might have seen a delay due to &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/01/22/claimed_low_voltage_intel_core_i5_delay_could_impact_macbook_air_upgrade.html\"&amp;gt;limited availability&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; of Intel's Core i5 ultramobile processors. Those reports suggested Apple could adopt the ultra-thin 18W TDP processor. The Core i5-520UM has a maximum processor speed of 1.86GHz, and an integrated GPU with 500MHz of processing power. The 32nm dual-core chip also includes 3MB of L3 cache.\r\n\r\nApple last updated the MacBook Air in &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/06/08/apple_introduces_13_inch_macbook_pro_cheaper_macbook_airs.html\"&amp;gt;June 2009&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, dropping its entry price to $1,499 for a 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo-based system. Apple's full line of MacBook Pros are also based on the Core 2 Duo processor.\r\n\r\nIn April, &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/04/13/apple_releases_new_macbook_pros_with_intel_core_i7_i5_processors.html\"&amp;gt;Apple updated&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; its MacBook Pro line of notebook computers, with the high-end systems receiving Intel's latest Core i7 and Core i5 mobile processors and new automated graphics switching technology."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
