Apple reportedly set to introduce new MacBook and Mac Mini products this fall

Aside from refreshed MacBook Pros, Apple's been quiet this year on the Mac front. A new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman points at upcoming new lower-cost MacBook with thinner bezels and a Retina Display, which should sate the needs of long suffering MacBook Air users.
