Proof That a New MacBook Air is on its Way?

Best Buy BBY has suspended online orders of the current MacBook Air. At least, that's the word from AppleInsider, one of the many Apple-centric websites that has been hyping the (presumably) imminent refresh of the MacBook Air. However, a quick check on BestBuy.com reveals that the 128GB, 13.3” model is still available. AppleInsider also points out that shoppers can still score any MacBook air from Apple's online store, as well as any brick-and-mortar Best Buy location. So while AppleInsider's report is not wrong per se, it seems that Best Buy didn't really “suspend” orders of the MacBook Air. Rather, this is probably just a case of depleting supplies for the existing models. Best Buy can't sell what it no longer has in stock. Thus, if you want to purchase a MacBook Air from Best Buy right now, you're going to have to drive to one of its retail locations. Follow me @LouisBedigian
