The official-looking ads show higher pricing than what the Australian online store actually lists when you click through them, suggesting that the ads represent an early look at what the pricing will be for the refreshed hardware lines.

Similar pricing inconsistencies were found within Apple's own New Zealand site, lending credence to the theory that a hardware refresh -- and accompanying price change -- might be on the way in the near near future.

We've also seen hints flying around recently that Apple is working on a processor upgrade for its Mac lines to Intel Core i5 and Core i7 chips.

The MacRumors Buying Guide, which tracks upgrade rumors and average hardware refresh times, also currently lists the Macbook Pro, Air and Mac Pro units as status "Don't Buy -- Updates soon."

In other words, it's still a collection of tiny details, but all signs seem to point to an impending Mac hardware refresh. If you're contemplating picking up a Mac in one of those lines, it might be worth holding off a short while.
