In the era of Apple Silicon, MacBooks are more affordable than ever. Nowadays, you can buy a MacBook Air with 512GB of storage and 16GB of memory for $1099 directly from Apple, when such a configuration would’ve cost $1599 just a few years ago. And on top of that, we have MacBook Neo bringing the entry-point down substantially.That said, Apple has warned that there will be price hikes in the future because of the AI-induced memory crisis, so now might be a good time to buy if you’re in the market for a new Mac.
