Apple does not plan to refresh any Macs with updated M5 chips in 2025, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Updated MacBook Air and MacBook

Previous rumors have all contended that the MacBook Pro and Air with M5 chip would arrive later this year, but Apple may have changed its mind.

Apple is rumored to be readying a new low-cost MacBook with an A18 processor that if real, will sell by the millions and further drive market share. Let's talk about what's been rumored.

Apple in October 2024 overhauled its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, adding M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Thunderbolt 5 ports on

That’s exactly what’s happening right now with the new 2025 MacBook Air, released in March. The 256GB version launched at $999 but for Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price to $849. This is not only the lowest price ever for this model, but it’s also half the price of the least expensive MacBook Pro which starts at $1,699

But whatever the company does, the 13-inch MacBook Air is still a great all-rounder, and a good combination of size and speed for people whose laptop is a purely portable computer that floats from room to room in their house rather than traveling for work or getting docked on a desk.

There are many reasons to buy an Apple laptop, but here are six that might convince you to try out a Mac mini or iMac.

The Apple MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, 2024) is now available for $2,249 (previously $2,499) from Amazon, thanks to a 10% discount ahead of Prime Day. The same model is also available for £2,199.97 (previously £2,499) at Amazon in the UK.
