Following Apple's recently released iPad Pro and iPad Mini, the company is now expected to unveil the MacBook Air 2016 before the holiday season starts. Most of the potential specs and features of this upcoming laptop are now being predicted online.

According to Christian Today, the 2016 MacBook Air will hit the market just in time for Christmas, making this device a perfect holiday gift. Meanwhile, it was also reported that the release of the newest family member of MacBook Air is delayed since the iPad Pro is scheduled to be launched first this month. Basically, this step is to avoid competition against its devices. However, there are also talks suggesting that the device's release has been delayed as some components are missing their target dates of completion.

In addition, there were some observers reporting that Apple's sales figures are evidence that the American tech giant may be preparing for a massive comeback before the year ends. It is worth mentioning that Apple's PC market has been in a downward trend for almost two years. With this situation, Apple will be forced to revitalize its PC and laptop departments with fresher device like the MacBook Air 2016.

Gospel Herald stated some of the features that might be present on the MacBook Air 2016. This upcoming laptop by Apple is speculated to be engineered with an Intel Skylake-U chipset under its chassis. It may run on latest OS X El Capitan. There are also plans that the MacBook Air will be sleeker with a Type-C USB port and more powerful RAM.

Apart from that, Latinos Post reports that the 2016 MacBook Air will actually have the Force Touch Technology incorporated into the track pad. Howevrer, the comfort mounds will be left alone; the keyboard and track pad will largely stay the same; and the measurements will also be similar to its predecessor.

If it is proven to be true that the MacBook Air 2016 will arrive before the holiday season, this device will indeed make a great gift this Christmas.  Apple Inc. hasn't uttered any word though so those who are interested to purchase the laptop will have to wait first for the company's announcement.
