Apple’s new MacBook Neo, a $599 budget laptop, is driving strong trade-ins and showing that a traditional keyboard and desktop-style multitasking still matter more to many users than tablets, despite iPadOS 26 improvements; the move underscores Apple’s focus on laptops and its guard against cannibalizing its own lineup.
Apple's M4 iPad Air sticks to the familiar design but adds a notable under-the-hood upgrade: the M4 chip, 12GB of unified memory (up from 8GB), and a modest boost in CPU (about 20–30%) and GPU (around 15%) performance. For everyday use it won't feel dramatically different, but creators using heavy apps like Pixelmator Pro or Final Cut Pro will benefit from faster handling of large files, making the iPad Air feel noticeably snappier even though the hardware look remains the same.
Honor has unveiled the MagicPad 4, the thinnest Android tablet at 4.8mm. It packs a 12.3-inch 165Hz OLED display, a 10,100mAh battery, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, running MagicOS 10 on Android 16. The device weighs less than MagicPad 3 and sports a back 13MP camera, a 9MP front camera, and eight speakers for spatial audio. Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet and will surface at MWC 2026.
Microsoft trims the Surface Pro to a 12-inch, fanless form factor that preserves the familiar detachable design and delivers standout battery life at a lower price, but it trades some performance and display polish for an all‑new, smaller package. The Snapdragon X Plus X1P CPU offers adequate light‑use performance and the 12‑inch 2196×1464 90Hz display is sharp, yet the device has limited ports (USB‑C 3.2 only), a 1080p webcam, and uses slower UFS storage. Add-ons matter: a $70 charger and optional keyboard ($150) and Slim Pen ($250) push the total toward — and sometimes past — $1,000. Start price is around $650, with a 512GB model bumping to about $700; a review sample with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD came in at $920 after accessories. It’s a strong secondary device for browsing, media, and light productivity, especially when you value all‑day battery and portability over raw power and upgrade cost.
