The revamped MacBook Airs' specifications have been leaked, sparking rumours that it may be officially unveiled today with the launch of OS X Lion.
Apple shipment forecasts also suggest that we may be saying farewell to the old white Apple MacBook with a new entry-level MacBook Air as its possible replacement.

We'd say the suspected specs are pretty likely, scoring high on the TechRadar rumour meter:
