@mikecane @WarnerCrocker there is no actual evidence any such product exists or is in planning. An analyst suggested Apple might be considering a 'lower-cost MacBook’.

Lower-cost in Apple terms likely isn't $699, even if true 😅 It just means a price point starting somewhere under the MacBook Air's $999 (and since Apple likes $100 increments, $899 is a 'lower cost’)

If such a thing has an M-series CPU, then yes, incredibly powerful laptop.

If it's an A-series, a little more up in the air

@stroughtonsmith @WarnerCrocker Hmph. Thanks. Is there a March event or not?

Did you hear Google can't put Gemini Nano in their phone? Apple will have the field to themselves with Siri Plus.

Only other devices are Humane AI Pin (Open AI and web) and Rabbit r1 (Perplexity). Tab and Rewind aren't AI retrieval.
