Apple’s budget MacBook eyes budget Windows buyers with sub-$700 price and iPhone chip

Tom’s Guide reports Apple is reportedly prepping a low-cost MacBook that could start around $599–$699, feature 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD in a smaller display, and run on the iPhone’s A18 Pro chip to cut costs. The move aims to widen Apple’s entry point and lure budget Windows/Chromebook users, though it may trade some performance for affordability and help fill a gap in Apple’s lineup.

Nvidia targets AI-ready laptops with ARM- and Intel-based chips

Nvidia is expanding from data-center AI chips into consumer laptops, teaming with MediaTek on ARM-based system-on-a-chip designs and with Intel to pair processors with Nvidia’s graphics and AI tools for laptops from Dell, Lenovo, and HP. The goal is a 150 million annual laptop market, emphasizing thin, long-lasting AI-enabled machines rather than immediate profits, with price points likely in the $1,000–$1,500 range and a focus on long-term ecosystem integration; NVDA stock rose modestly ahead of earnings.

Dell XPS 14 (2026) Trials a MacBook Air Vibe, With Perks and Pitfalls

Dell’s 2026 XPS 14 adopts a MacBook Air–like silhouette and strong iGPU performance across its X7/X9 variants (with an OLED option), but it’s hampered by an awkward seamless keyboard, soldered RAM, and only three Thunderbolt 4 ports. At around $2,200 for the high-end config, it competes with Apple’s laptops on price while offering limited I/O and mixed keyboard comfort, making it a strong graphics machine with a few notable compromises.

Intel Panther Lake delivers a credible laptop performance leap

Ars Technica tests the Asus Zenbook Duo UX8407 powered by Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (Panther Lake) and finds a substantial, well-rounded upgrade: strong CPU and GPU performance, notably better efficiency, and solid battery life for a dual-screen laptop. Panther Lake appears to be Intel’s best laptop CPU in years, with Copilot+ support and a clearer, more unified feature set, though supply constraints and the two-screen form factor temper short-term enthusiasm. The long-term question is whether this marks a stable, repeatable turnaround for Intel or a rare standout in a period of ongoing iteration.

Surface Pro 12-Inch Review: Small, Cheaper, and Long-Lasting

Microsoft trims the Surface Pro to a 12-inch, fanless form factor that preserves the familiar detachable design and delivers standout battery life at a lower price, but it trades some performance and display polish for an all‑new, smaller package. The Snapdragon X Plus X1P CPU offers adequate light‑use performance and the 12‑inch 2196×1464 90Hz display is sharp, yet the device has limited ports (USB‑C 3.2 only), a 1080p webcam, and uses slower UFS storage. Add-ons matter: a $70 charger and optional keyboard ($150) and Slim Pen ($250) push the total toward — and sometimes past — $1,000. Start price is around $650, with a 512GB model bumping to about $700; a review sample with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD came in at $920 after accessories. It’s a strong secondary device for browsing, media, and light productivity, especially when you value all‑day battery and portability over raw power and upgrade cost.
