flag Apple to launch affordable MacBook in March 2026 amid supply chain and pricing challenges.

flag Apple is set to launch a new entry-level MacBook on March 4, 2026, with production beginning in the first quarter and volume shipments starting in March. flag The device, made by Quanta Computer and later Foxconn, will use an A-series chip to cut costs and is expected to start at $699 to $749, down from earlier $599 rumors. flag Rising component costs—driven by memory shortages and a 161% surge in cobalt prices—threaten affordability and profit margins. flag Apple aims to ship 15–16 million units over two years, though analysts question the target. flag The laptop’s success hinges on balancing price, performance, and Apple’s premium brand image amid supply chain challenges and strong competition from Chromebooks in education.
