The MacBook Air model that Apple last released is powered by Intel’s fifth-generation processor lineup and it is in dire need of a replacement, and if a recently leaked e-mail is any hint, we might see a new MacBook model during the upcoming October 30 event.

The backstory is that a K-12 education customer recently ordered a MacBook Air, Apple Pencil, and iPad. Apple shipped the iPad and the pen accessory but said that the MacBook Air would be delivered on October 30. The date has fueled speculations that Apple will release a new 13-inch MacBook on October 30. Even though there are chances that this might just be indicative of a minor specifications upgrade, it is unlikely as the aging MacBook Air would best be replaced.
