The price of the MacBook equipped with an ARM chip is lower than expected
Although Apple’s products have always appeared on the market with high prices and expensive images, due to the recent downturn in the industry, Apple, which has always been arrogant, has also launched many low-priced products one after another, such as the iPhone SE.
At present, it seems that Apple may continue to introduce some low-cost hardware products, thereby continuing to radiate the Apple ecosystem to more consumer groups. The leaker said that Apple’s first MacBook equipped with an ARM chip launched this year is priced at only US$799. This price can be said to be extremely low compared to previous MacBook products because Apple 13-inch MacBook Air price is currently the cheapest, priced at $999.

In addition, the performance of the A12Z processor (assuming the MacBook is equipped with this chip) is not bad based on the running score data, surpassing the Microsoft SQ1 processor developed by Microsoft and Qualcomm.
At the same time, the leaker, Komiya said that the 13-inch MacBook Pro is priced at US$1,099, which is also lower than the price of US$1,299 of the Pro model currently on sale. Mass production is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
According to previous reports, Apple will hold a conference on October 27 this year to release 13-inch MacBooks and MacBooks equipped with Apple’s self-developed A-series chips, as well as the new iPad Pro and Apple Glass.
