Although we currently have two Macbooks rangesthe Air and the PRO, where the price difference is one of the most important points, it seems that Apple still wants to offer greater ease for people who want to have a team of this brand, but not pay so much.
Today we can see the Air range for around 1,000 euros, especially if we chose a model of a couple of years ago, with Apple's own chip and with an unique battery and weight for other brands, which makes all users repeat with them.
Well, now it seems that there will be more options, with a model still cheaperalthough it will not have the power of the current ones, although what you are looking for is to see series, navigate online, and listen to music, this will be ideal, and with the apple ecosystem.
New economic macbook
According to analyst Ming -Chi Kuo, Apple will begin producing at the end of 2025 or early 2026 Chip A18 Prothe same that currently use the iPhone 16 Pro, instead of the M series that we have in which we can acquire now, and that are more expensive.
There is no estimated figure about the cost of this new product, although we understand that it will be cheaper than the Air themselves, something similar to the iPhone 16 and the new iPhone 16E, which although there is no excessive difference, we can notice a price drop, ideal for those people who need something even more cheaper, and that do not seek an excessive power or performance.
We will have to see how they behave in terms of battery consumption, for example, or how much they end up weighing with this chip and the rest of the components, although it could be something very similar to an air, but in some less detail that makes it more economical, such as not including Touch ID, a worse quality camera, etc.
The team is expected to offer more striking color options, such as pink, yellow and silver, among others, to differentiate it from the rest of the line, something that already happens in other products.
Apple intends produce between 5 and 7 million units in 2026which would indicate a rather high volume, thinking that sales will be very successful, and thus also lowering their costs.
Currently, the A18 Pro has a score very similar to the M4 chip of the Mac Mini, or the M1 itself of the Airwhat clearly shows us as its performance will be up to it, and that, although it is not as powerful as the most recent, it will serve for the use that most people give to a computer.
For now it is time to wait, and soon we will know more about this model than, surprisingly, we will soon see. And you, do you think it was necessary a cheaper team? Would you buy it? The truth is that as a second computer, it can be very interesting, to take a trip, or watch movies with him. What do you think? Leave us a comment.
