Nikiaf@alien.topOPBtoApple•Kuo: Apple Considering Low-Cost MacBook Launch in 2024English

1 year agoIf this is true, it’ll sell like gangbusters. The vast majority of students buying what’s nearly become a right of passage at this point in what is an Apple laptop will certainly flock to this; since even the MBA is overkill for most use cases.
Where it gets interesting is how this will stack up next to the iPad, in particular the iPad Pro. With this, you’d get an attached screen and keyboard; and an OS that’s actually worth its own existence. Unless you absolutely needed a touch screen for some reason, I could see this badly cannibalizing iPad sales.
It sounded like they were trying to condition us into accepting that a new 27" or 32" model isn’t even on the horizon yet, and we should just buy the tiny little model they have already. It might work well in a doctor’s office, but there’s no way I could make my primary display a 24" screen.
