Some news spread from the analyst Ming Che Ko about entering Apple A new sector in the mobile computers market, reports that the company is working on a new MacBook at a lower primary price than MacBook Air, and it seems that it will contain the A18 Pro chip located in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
While the MacBook is definitely cheaper, a welcome addition, the question remains: Will Apple be implemented correctly, or will it be just another fake model?
According to the “9to5Mac” website, it is rumored that the cheapest MacBook will use a 13 -inch screen, and will have the A18 Pro chip, and will be available in the same four colors for the iPad from Apple: blue, yellow, pink and silver, will enter the huge production in the last quarter of this year, or the first quarter of 2026.
Apple made the IPAD device cheaper, and it seemed incredibly similar to the highest -price iPad Air, but it was not a great deal, especially taking into account that the iPad Air devices were offered for sale regularly at a price of $ 499 at that time, leaving only $ 50 at the price to get M1 slice And a wrapped screen.
What price does Apple reduce?
People generally expect that the price of the new MacBook with innovative design will start from 699 to $ 799, a price that seems reasonable according to Apple’s evaluation.
However, Apple may also reduce some additional features in the main MacBook device: an additional USB-C port, Touch ID feature, center status, and battery capacity.
New MacBook: Is it good value?
Of all these discounts, I think the Touch ID feature may be one of the most difficult features that most people may accept.
However, there is a precedent for it, the basic Apple M4 IMAC does not come with the Touch ID keyboard.
If the price of MacBook is 699 USD with 8 GB RAM and all of these discounts in features, it is likely that it will not be a bad deal.
Rather, $ 799 USD makes it much more difficult, and given price fluctuations, Apple may not want to reduce its device price from the start, so the MacBook at $ 799 looks like the perfect choice.
At 799 dollars, if it is equipped with 8 GB RAM and misses many major Mac features, it may not be the best option in value.
In the end, MacBook Air devices are usually offered for sale at a price of approximately this price. MacBook Air M4 (which starts with a 16 GB uniform memory) offered for sale at $ 849, and just two days ago we saw MacBook Air M3 devices (also with a 16 GB uniform memory) at reduced prices for only $ 699.
