Tech enthusiasts around the world are excited about the upcoming MacBook Air 2017. However, recent reports are claiming that the much awaited Apple laptop could possibly be released soon as the price of the latest MacBook Air has dropped.

According to Science Times, the MacBook Air 2017 could possibly be released in April 2017. According to the publication, Company could possibly unveil the much-awaited model during the launch of the new Apple Campus.

However another rumor is coming from MacWorld, which notes that Best Buy has discounted their price for the MacBook Air in February. The US retailer has crashed the price for the cheapest MacBook Air to $800. Typically, a reduction in price suggests that a newer model will be arriving, i.e. MacBook Air 2017. Retailers usually want to clear all their old stock before the new stock comes and while this could very well be the case, it is also probable that it has nothing to do with a new model being introduced at all.

Rumors have been sufacing on the internet suggesting that Apple may discontinue the MacBook Air lineup in full. As last year, the Cupertino-based has released the new MacBook Pro 2016, and all the MacBook Air got was a RAM update for its 13-inch variants. In case new MacBook Air 2017 will comes then we can expect more updated features in it.

On the other hand, some people are still optimistic about the arrival of new MacBook Air 2017 this year. It is expected that the device will sport Intel's latest Kaby Lake processor, a USB Type-C port, and an Apple Pencil-supported trackpad. Upcoming laptop from Apple will also be having a Touch ID with Force Touch and possibly a Retina display. There is also a possibility of featuring an E-ink keyboard in the MacBook Air 2017.
