Apple is reportedly working on an ultra-thin 15-inch MacBook, according to MacRumors. The site is unsure if it will be released as a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro but says it is already in late testing stages.

It's expected that Apple will drop the built-in optical drive as it has done for the new MacBook Airs and the new Mac Mini.

The timing of an ultra-thin 15" Apple notebook remains a mystery to us as Apple just revamped the MacBook Air with new 11" and 13" models. Meanwhile the MacBook Pro line was refreshed in February, likely pushing the next release out to at least very late in the year.

Back in February, iLounge predicted the next update for the MacBook Pro would be a milestone redesign.

You know, I personally believe that the MacBook Air will become the new MacBook. Apple called the new MacBook Air the "Next Generation of MacBooks." Well there you go. They said it on their own. Apple clearly believes that optical drives are not important anymore. My guess is: They dropped the White MacBook so they can replace it with the Airs. I believe that soon enough the word "Air" will be removed.
