Leaker Says Apple's Lower-Cost MacBook Will Have These 8 Limitations

Apple is set to announce its rumored lower-cost MacBook next week, but leaked information reveals eight significant limitations compared to current models. The budget laptop will reportedly feature reduced display brightness, no True Tone technology, limited storage options up to 512GB, slower SSD speeds, no fast charging or backlit keyboard, and will use a MediaTek chip instead of Apple's N1 chip. Expected to cost between $599-$799, this MacBook will likely target budget-conscious consumers and educational markets despite these compromises.
