Renowned industry analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, has posted a report on X suggesting Apple could soon look to compete with the likes of Chromebook Plus and mid-range Windows laptops. He believes that the firm could make a more affordable MacBook using the same A18 Pro chipset found in the iPhone 16 Pro.

Apple is reportedly planning a more affordable MacBook powered by the same processor as the iPhone 16 Pro. It sounds ridiculous, but practically exciting, too.

Apple’s MacBook range offers some of the best laptops money can buy, and there’s no doubt that they’re premium offerings across the board. That focus on high-end quality means they don’t come cheap, but there are whispers now that Apple might be about to change its tune.
