According to the latest rumors, OS X Lion and a new version of the best laptop brand Macbook Air will be released any day now. The rumors originated with some "overseas sources" which have leaked the information that Apple Retail stores are gearing up for July 13th 'overnights'.

The rumors have appeared on at least two different websites, one of which cites a bulletin that was supposed spotted on Apple's internal retail store network. This bulletin advised managers at Apple stores to upgrade the RAM on certain Mac models in their showrooms by July 10. Apple has already commented on their intention of a July release, but the company hasn't given any official dates yet. Apple previously stated that Lion would be made available as a $29.99 update, and the OS promises to offer many enhancements.

European shoppers will enjoy many discount laptop choices from Acer this season, as the company has decided to make room in its overstocked warehouses by dumping 3 million discount laptops on the Continent. Acer decided that selling the laptops at steep discounts was better than writing them off for zero revenue.

The company will be shipping cheap laptops outside of Europe as well from its warehouses in China. Because the company is trying to get rid of the excess inventory as quickly as possible, the discounts should be significant although the prices have yet to be announced. Due to the pace of technology evolution, computer manufacturers can run into the situation frequently where they are pressured to dispose of older technology at almost any price. This time the company is blaming rising tablet popularity and decreasing netbook sales for the inventory glut.
