Three Apple Mac PCs have allegedly been spotted on Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) website. One of the three models is referred to as a portable computer hinting at a new MacBook Pro or an upgraded MacBook Air. Apple is touted to launch an updated version of its entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro that will feature the latest Apple M2 processor and a MacBook Air with M2 processor. The news follows a month after a few references of iPhone models as well as iPad models were reportedly spotted on the same certification website mentioned above.

As per a report by French publication Consomac (via 9to5Mac), three Macs registered on EEC website have model numbers A2615, A2686 and A2681 of which A2681 is a portable computer. It could be the new MacBook Pro or an upgraded MacBook Air rumoured to launch at the alleged March 8 event. There is no further information available about these devices.

The 9to5Mac report mentioned above says that Apple products usually appear in the Eurasian database roughly 1-3 months before release, hinting that these could indeed be new Mac laptop and desktop Pcs. However, it also notes that sometimes models are identified almost a year before a real product is materialised.
