Apple Plans Launch of Low-Cost MacBook Targeting Students and Entry-Level Buyers

Apple is expected to launch a new low-cost MacBook aimed at students and first-time buyers, potentially lowering the entry barrier to macOS in India. The device may feature an aluminium build similar to the MacBook Air, with trade-offs to maintain affordability. Industry reports suggest it could offer significant value compared to budget Windows laptops, which often face criticism for build quality and performance. This launch follows recent releases of the iPhone 17e and iPad Air M4, highlighting Apple's focus on expanding its ecosystem with more affordable options.
