The Apple MacBook has always been synonymous with performance, design, and premium quality. However, there may be some talking among the masses this time that the forthcoming models of the MacBook may be retailing much cheaper than before. This change could mean a lot for Apple's book market.
Affordable Premium
Changes would be made to configurations and design features of the new models such that in effect, manufacturing costs would be brought down highly considerably, and the user experience would be almost liveable. Thus low-income earners too will have a chance to grab a MacBook ever since.
Market Competition and Apple's Strategy
Currently, various brands of laptops are launching the high-performance and acceptable ones. To survive in the competition and target the younger generation and students, Apple might lower prices a bit; thus, this will help the company directly increase its share in the market.
Possible Features and Hardware Changes Of New MacBook
The dropping of certain features in the interest of keeping affordability will include:
Lower resolution display (1080p)
Limited storage and memory options
Removes some pro-level software features
The performance of Apple's M-series chipset would conscionably not be butchered.
Suitability For Students and New Users
If this model comes at a cheaper price, it would create an enormous opportunity of importance to students, freelancers, and first-time buyers. This will allow them to enter Apple Eco-System at a lower price, which is advantageous to Apple in the long run.
Release Time and Expectation
Officially, nothing is confirmed, but tech analysts believe that the release of this lower-priced model may come by the end of the year. The quality will still be there; just the price will be lower, retaining that premium feel in design.
Yet again, if the news is indeed true, these new models may send tremors across the entire laptop market and bring technology closer to students and casual users. Thus, this may be the dawn of a new age for Apple.
