Apple is rumoured to be holding a product unveiling later this month where a refreshed version of the Macbook Air could make its debut.

The Cupertino firm will also release more information about the Apple Watch at the press conference on February 24, Digital Spy reports citing iGen.

Previous reports suggest that the next Macbook Air will be the slimmest laptop Apple has ever released, with a fanless design and a 12-inch screen.

Its ultra-slim form factor is said to be the result of the removal of all connector ports besides the headphone jack and a reversible USB Type-C input.

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently announced that the Apple Watch is due to ship in April, but launch dates for specific territories could be confirmed at the event.

The long-rumoured iPad Pro is not expected to be revealed at the event.
