One of the latest rumors out of the Apple rumor mill is that Apple is planning to release a MacBook Air that is equipped with a Retina display. The rumor says that Apple is planning on releasing this new MacBook Air sometime in the third quarter of this year. Previous rumors have said that the Air would get the Retina treatment in June.

Of course, if the Air gets a Retina display, it's going to need more horsepower to drive those pixels and a bigger battery to power the display. It's not clear if Apple will be able to pack all of the extras required into the Air's tiny chassis, though Apple has done other engineering marvels before.

EMSOne says that the update will be arriving in the coming months, so it may be worth holding off if you were thinking of getting a new MacBook Air.
