Sure, when you get a Mac, you’ll still pay more for extra storage and memory. But the NPI report suggests you’ll be paying similarly for Windows hardware, too. Beyond that, Apple has another trick up its sleeve, one which might yet give even relatively committed Windows users pondering a Windows 11 upgrade food for thought.
A Mac for all seasons
Cheaper Macs may be on the way. That’s right. Apple is now hotly tipped to introduce a new MacBook model equipped with A-series mobile processors to challenge the low end of the PC market. Current speculation claims the company plans to introduce these systems later this year at just $599.
To help meet the low price target, these 12.9-in notebooks will use a lower-cost iPhone processor, making these machines perfectly capable at all the entry-level tasks you might need. (If you want something more powerful, you can’t have missed the emergence of online offers that might allow you to pick up a MacBook Air for around $799.)
