Summary

Apple Introduces Affordable MacBooks

Apple plans to ship up to 8 million affordable MacBook units in 2025.
The model targets 25% of Mac sales and uses an A18 Pro chip with 8GB RAM.
Despite the RAM crisis, Apple has sufficient inventory to support the spring 2026 launch.
Analysts expect a price of $699–$799, though some speculate it could be lower.
The device aims for a smooth 8GB RAM experience, but long-term viability remains uncertain.
