Apple plans to launch a new laptop that will compete with the budget Google Chromebook. In this respect informs DigiTimes portal.
According to the source, Apple’s budget laptop will have a metal chassis and will cost less than $1,000 (about 97,500 rubles). This will allow the company to attract customers from the education sector and midsize businesses that need reliable and affordable computers. The company is currently offering a special education pricing for its iPads.
DigiTimes claims that Apple has already ordered components for the new laptop from its main suppliers, Quanta Computer and Foxconn. The novelty is expected to go on sale in the second half of 2024.
Currently, the Apple lineup is represented by two laptop lines: MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Prices start at $999 and $1299 respectively. If the information about a competitor of the Chromebook turns out to be correct, Apple’s new laptop will be the most laptop in the company’s product line.
