Apple is expected to introduce new MacBooks within the coming months, according to reliable KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. It is thought 2016 will be a big year for the MacBook lineup, particularly in enterprise markets.
Kuo expects the MacBook to enjoy “solid growth” among businesses this year, and predicts that sales will accelerate with new models expected to arrive by June. The demand will also benefit SZS and Casetek, which supply Apple with MacBook components.
We don’t know much about the upcoming MacBook refresh yet, but it’s thought Apple will wait for Intel’s latest Skylake processors to become available. This could increase “CPU speeds by 10 to 20 percent, and integrated graphics chips by 16 to 41 percent,” reports AppleInsider.
The new processors could also improve battery life by as much as 30 percent, thanks to the more advanced 14-nanometer manufacturing process used for Skylake processors.
If you’ve been thinking about picking up a new MacBook, then, it might be a good idea to hold out if you can.
