[Photo: Apple]<\/p>\n<p>Apple MacBook prices have generally fallen since the shift to Apple silicon, but the current discount window is drawing attention as memory prices may rise.<\/p>\n<p>On June 22, local time, IT media outlet 9to5Mac reported that Apple recently mentioned the possibility of future price increases, citing memory supply pressure driven by expanding demand for artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>The current MacBook lineup is being assessed as far more price-competitive than before. The MacBook Air, a representative entry-level product, is being sold at $1,099 with 512GB storage and 16GB of memory. The outlet explained that similar specifications were around $1,599 just a few years ago. With the recent launch of the entry-level MacBook Neo, the entry price for MacBooks has fallen further.<\/p>\n<p>The MacBook Air is still seen as Apple\u2019s main laptop model. MagSafe charging, a P3 color-gamut display, a Center Stage webcam and long battery life are assessed as strengths. Another differentiator is that while the MacBook Neo comes only in a 13-inch model, the MacBook Air has a 15-inch option.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, the current discounted prices are about $949 for the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air with 512GB and 16GB, $1,149 for 1TB and 16GB, and $1,349 for 1TB and 24GB. The 15-inch model is being sold at $1,149 for 512GB and 16GB, $1,449 for 1TB and 16GB, and $1,549 for 1TB and 24GB.<\/p>\n<p>The most watched new product is the MacBook Neo. It is Apple\u2019s first low-cost MacBook, with a starting price of $599. It is being assessed as maintaining the MacBook\u2019s build quality, display quality and macOS experience while lowering some performance and expandability. Still, the A18 Pro chip, 8GB of memory and a limited port setup are being cited as shortcomings.<\/p>\n<p>On Amazon,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltoday.co.kr\/en\/view\/73311\/macbook-may-be-cheapest-now-air-neo-pro-buying-guide\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MacBook may be cheapest now: buying guide for Air, Neo and Pro https:\/\/www.digitaltoday.co.kr\/en\/view\/73311\/macbook-may-be-cheapest-now-air-neo-pro-buying-guide Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":278205,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.digitaltoday.co.kr\/news\/photo\/202606\/677155_625756_580.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[50],"class_list":["post-278204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-macbook-air"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278204"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278204"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":278206,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278204\/revisions\/278206"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
