Bloomberg says the new device could launch in early 2026.
Apple is preparing to enter the low-cost laptop market for the first time, with plans to release a budget Mac in the first half of next year, according to Bloomberg News.
The new device, reportedly code-named J700, is designed to attract students, businesses, and casual users who primarily browse the web, edit documents, or perform light media work. Apple also hopes to win over potential iPad buyers who prefer a traditional laptop experience.
