Apple Preps Budget MacBook Aiming to Convert Switchers
Apple is reportedly developing a low-cost MacBook described as 'incredible value' to lure Windows and Chromebook users, potentially drawing first-time Mac buyers. Leaked specs suggest a price around $599–$799 with compromises like a dimmer display, limited storage (256GB/512GB, possibly 128GB for education), slower SSDs, no fast charging, no backlit keyboard, and a non-Apple wireless chip (MediaTek). It could be announced around Apple's March 4 event or slightly before.
