Apple unveiled revised MacBook Pro models last month, but the MacBook Air has yet to receive the Arrandale treatment. A new rumor out of Australia says that an updated MacBook Air may be revealed as soon as this Tuesday. However, Intel's hardware roadmap and Apple's current configurations suggest that an update to the lightweight portable is still some distance away.

A source speaking to Australian Macworld—the same source that mentioned MacBook Pro updates a week before they happened—is drawing attention to a new product number appearing in Apple's inventory system. The source claims that "thousands" of new products with the code "MC516LL/A K87 BETTER BTR-USA" are headed to Australia this week. The "better" designation in the product code refers to Apple's habit of offering its machines in a "good," "better," or "best" configuration.
