With the release of the next generation of iPad imminent, the new Mac computers are also highly anticipated. So, when will Apple update its Mac series this year? According to the latest dates of the "Back to School" promotion in Australia, it is likely that the launch of the new Macs will be after April 17th. The end date for the "Back to School" promotion in Australia this year is April 17th. Based on information from Australia, Apple has never updated products during a promotional event, except for the Mac Pro. Considering other sources of information, Intel's Ivy Bridge processors are also scheduled to ship in April, making it very possible that Apple’s new Mac computers will meet everyone after mid-April. Currently, the Macbook Pro received a minor update at the end of last year; the Macbook Air, iMac, and Mac Mini all underwent updates in the middle of last year.
