It'll get even weirder if the rumoured MacBook Lite with an iPhone processor ends up happening. Incredibly powerful tablets constrained by a dumbed down operating system, sold right next to much weaker laptops running a full fat desktop environment.
- gloxkiqcza 1y agoWell A19 Pro beats M1 in benchmarks so while the rumored MacBook might be weaker than mid to high-end iPads, it won’t be a slow machine in general.
- dangus 1y agoIs that really rumored? Sounds like kind of a weak rumor to me. The MacBook Air already exists. Apple already makes low cost versions of those, which are the previous models that they continue to manufacture.

- dangus 1y agoInteresting, seems like an odd choice but maybe the smaller SoC package brings costs down. I wonder if Apple will finally be making the $500 laptop they always claimed they couldn’t make.
