Ship times for the vast majority of MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac models are mostly the same as they were a month ago, with a handful of basic configurations available for delivery the day after they’ve been ordered and typical-ish week-

What is the best laptop under $500?

MacBook Neo (2026) is the best cheap laptop you can get right now, hands-down. Performance is fast and reliable, and battery life is surprisingly good at 13+ hours. It doesn't cut corners in many areas either, a rarity in a budget machine.
