Apple is breaking all the rules with a brand new $599 MacBook — the cheapest Mac laptop they’ve ever made. Powered by the same A18 Pro chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro, this 13-inch MacBook could deliver shockingly good performance for everyday users while undercutting the MacBook Air’s $999 starting price.
