Rake Point

It seems that our hopes of getting a new MacBook are about to vanish. Sources close to Intel claim that they are having delays approving the Wi-Fi chipset for the Centrino 2 platform’s mainboard and this will delay maybe until July 14th, or between two to three weeks after a projected but still unofficial late June launch window.

“This initial launch would only include Intel’s standard 802.11a/b/g wireless chipset, the purported sources claim; systems that need 802.11n would need to ship two weeks later.” Said folks at AppleInsider.

As we know already Apple uses 802.11n in all its notebooks and delay like this would also delay Apple from launching its major MacBook redesigns until late July or later.
