Word has it that an update to the MacBook Air may see a delay by several weeks because of delays in the ultra-low voltage Core i5 from Intel. Apparently, Intel is whispered to push back the 1.06GHz i5-520UM versus its full-power counterparts, which would mean Apple is forced to not update their ultra-slim notebook at the same time as the MacBook Pro, or prolong the shipping date. We’re pretty sure that folks who want a new MacBook Air will be disappointed, but at least this disappointment won’t involve any order cancellations or the lack of an older processor – some patience would go a long way in such situations.
