Turns and moves, we hear about the possibility of Apple launch a MacBook even more compact, along the lines of the much-missed 12-inch model, but at a more affordable price.
This possibility gained even more strength in 2020, after the introduction of the M series chips, which are much more efficient and faster than the Intel processors used by Maçã in its ultracompact laptop from more than half a decade ago — and which basically made them fail.
This week, Ming-Chi Kuo returned to this point when he said that Apple was considering launching a more affordable MacBook as a way to “stimulate sales and expand the laptop portfolio”. Now it was someone else’s turn leaker with a certain history reinforce this possibility: yeux1122.
Although the company still needs to decide whether or not to send these models into mass production, according to the leakernow it is “more likely than ever” that they will actually hit the market — largely due to a rapid drop in sales of iPads and MacBooks, which also “converses” with what Kuo said earlier this week.
It is worth noting that the TF International Securities analyst even released a forecast for the number of units of this entry-level MacBook that Apple intends to ship per year, which is between 8 and 10 million units.
Also according to yeux1122, this new line of Apple laptops should start at a price of around US$700, with the aim of competing with more powerful Chromebooks available on the market — which are having more success among educational institutions than computers and company tablets. Another name to corroborate this possibility recently, it is worth remembering, was the DigiTimeswhich even bet on a launch in 2024.
