"Beyond the more vibrant colors, Gurman said that Apple has also trialed its classic silver and dark gray colorways for its cheaper laptop. Gurman added that not all of these six colors will make it to the final product, but Apple has recently shown it's not afraid to dip into flashier options. Apple refreshed the iMac in 2024 with a total of seven colors and swapped out the space gray option for sky blue for the latest MacBook Air."
"Color choices aside, the latest rumors point to the upcoming MacBook having a price tag that's anywhere between $699 and $799. To achieve that lower price point, Apple is expected to port over its chips designed for iPhones, like the A18 Pro that we first saw with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. We're also anticipating Apple will compromise on specs, ports, or even the display, but Gurman reported that the company won't be skimping when it comes to the shell."
Apple has tested colors including light yellow, light green, blue, pink, silver, and dark gray for a new entry-level MacBook targeted at students and enterprise users. Pricing is expected between $699 and $799. To hit that range, Apple plans to use iPhone-derived chips such as the A18 Pro and reduce other specifications, ports, or display features. Apple will use a new manufacturing process to produce aluminum shells for the affordable MacBook rather than using plastic. The product may be announced at a March event. Apple previously refreshed the iMac with seven colors and replaced space gray with sky blue on the latest MacBook Air, indicating a willingness to offer vivid colorways.
