The information also said that this laptop will have a completely new design. It is unclear, however, that this laptop is simply an upgrade of current MacBook Air or MacBook Pro models, or a new MacBook line.

Besides rumors of the MacBook model, Ming-Chi Kuo also said that Apple might release a cheap version of iMac that appears at the same time as the new MacBook, along with the 9.7-inch, sixth-generation iPad model equipped with the screen. Retina image with ppi (pixel-per-inch) pixel density is about 30 - 40% higher than today.

Apple was well known before their plans. But the anticipated information that Ming-Chi Kuo analyst provided so far is almost reliable. Anyway, this will be good news for MacBook users who are planning to upgrade next year.
