Apple plans to launch an affordable MacBook by early 2026, targeting students and budget-conscious buyers. The new laptop will use the A18 Pro chip, the same processor found in the iPhone 16 Pro. Reports suggest the starting price in India will be around Rs 52,500 under Apple’s education discount, making it much cheaper than the current MacBook Air. General buyers can expect the price to be slightly higher, at around Rs 62,000.

It will feature a 12.9-inch screen, slightly smaller than the MacBook Air’s 13.6-inch display. Thin, lightweight, and portable, it will come in Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. While the display may have lower brightness and resolution, it will meet everyday needs. The A18 Pro chip will provide reliable performance, making it ideal for students and casual users.
