Overview
Apple has tested a range of playful color options for its upcoming low‑cost MacBook, going well beyond the muted tones available on its current laptop lineup, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Color Options
Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says the colors tested so far include:
- Light yellow
- Light green
- Blue
- Pink
- Classic silver
- Dark gray
He notes it’s unlikely all of them will ship. If released, the palette would make the budget MacBook the most colorful laptop Apple has offered since the iBook G3 era in the late 1990s, which featured Tangerine, Blueberry, Indigo, Graphite, and Key Lime.
Specifications
- Price: Expected to retail for well under $1,000.
- Processor: Likely to use an iPhone chip—potentially the A18 Pro—instead of an M‑series processor.
- Display: Slightly under a 13‑inch screen.
- Chassis: Aluminum, built with a new, faster manufacturing process designed to keep costs down.
Market Position
Apple is aiming to compete with Chromebooks, targeting the budget MacBook at students and enterprise users. Reports suggest a launch event could occur as early as March.
