With the entry-level Mac mini now sitting at $799, all eyes are on the MacBook Neo - Apple's newly released answer to the budget Windows world. Launched in March 2026, the Neo has turned out to be more popular than Apple itself anticipated.

Looking further ahead, the rumor mill is already buzzing about the M6 generation of Macs, expected to debut in late 2026 or early 2027. The next era of Apple Silicon is expected to power a massive MacBook Pro redesign, potentially introducing OLED d
