Every Week there is a latest gossip or buzz about Apple products on the internet like how the next iPhone is going to be similar to iPhone 4. The blogs are loaded with rumors about design and physical appearance of the next iPhone although; most of these rumors are based on delusion.

But since Apple has launched Apple’s OS X Lion operating system update, there is an increase in the tittle-tattle about the MacBook Air laptop, the the Mac Mini, and the desktop PC Mac Pro . Below, we have tried our best to update you with of the most widespread Apple computer rumors that got fame in 2011.

• Apple MacBook Air,

MacBook Air, the most anticipated handy 11-inch version of laptop with an affordable starting price of $999 and has created a hype and inquisitiveness among the Apple fans. The MacRumors.com was the first to release the gossip about Apple working on a black version of the MacBook Air. It stated: “Over the past week, we’ve received several anonymous tips claiming that at least some models of the next-generation MacBook Air will be available with a black finish.”  After 7 hours, another buzz was circulating on the MacRumor.com with Apple’s employee statement “We tried to powder coat the Air’s [sic] (and Pro’s [sic] for that matter) in black as a test run…The coating looks good and holds up well, but it also soaks up body oils, making the palm rest look pretty gross.

Ultimately that is the reason that the top brass (Jobs) killed the idea…it was just too easy to make the computer look like crap.” And then the whole story scattered the web including The Atlantic and the Huffington Post. A supposed gossip was then spread  from 9to5mac.com stating: “A reliable source has told us that they haven’t seen any black in the new MacBook Air materials.”

Other rumors about Apple Macbook Air  that are buzzing around include an upgrade to Sandy Bridge Processors i-e Intel’s second-generation Core i-series processors and the addition of Thunderbolt port. These updated gossips are related with the expected launch of OS X Lion update in July 2011.  All this tittle-tattle looks like hard facts but the reality is that that the new MacBook Air is not anticipated before the release of the OS X Lion update, as only nine months have gone by since the previous model of MacBook Air was updated.

• Apple Mac Mini

The teeny-weeny Mac Mini is another remarkable Apple product with an expected price of $699; somewhat similar to the first-generation MacBook Air but much smaller in size. However, the micgadget.com gossips about Mac Mini are not just an updated design but the inclusion of Intel’s second-generation Core i-series processors, a Thunderbolt port and Nvidia graphics.

• Apple Mac Pro

With the Apple’s iPads and Laptops craze in the market, Apple has not given up the idea of making conventional desktops. Mac Pro featuring twin six-core Intel Xeon processors is the new anticipated desktop PC by Apple. micgadget.com  declared that the Mac Pro, in addition to updated chassis design may get a rack mountable version replaced by  $2,999 “Server” version.

Moreover, gossips about the inclusion of Thunder bolt and new Intel processor may be the not-yet-released Xeon E5  are also strewn. The Xeon E5  is expected to be the originated from the exclusive Intel CPU of first-generation MacBook Air and it seems that none of the current Intel Sandy Bridge processors are going to be used in the new Mac pro. Another invalid rumor is that Mac Pro will not have the ability to hot-swap hard drives without shutting down the system. micgadget.com post is the only gossip source for all the Mac Pro and Mac Mini rumors and there seems no authentication in the rumors. And about the Apple’s official employees, they are not even interested to give any comments “regarding rumors and future products,” when inquired. So, you have to wait until the unspecified release date of OS X Lion to see what the Apple is bringing for you in the near future.
