Apple buzzes with fresh excitement as leaks point to a major product push in early March 2026. Apple plans a special “Apple Experience” event on March 4 in New York, London, and Shanghai, where media gets hands-on time with new devices. Latest leaks suggest announcements roll out day by day in the first week of March, possibly starting with the Apple iPhone 17e, followed by updated iPads, and then new MacBooks. The biggest talk swirls around an Apple MacBook leak that hints at Apple’s first truly affordable laptop, aimed at taking on Chromebooks and budget Windows machines. So, read ahead to know more about this.
Apple MacBook Leak: Affordable Model On The Horizon
The Apple MacBook leak centers on a new budget-friendly laptop codenamed J700. Reports say Apple targets a launch in March 2026, right after the March 4 event. Priced potentially around $599–$699 (roughly Rs 50,000 in India), this entry-level MacBook could make Apple’s ecosystem accessible to students, families, and everyday users like never before.

This device breaks from the premium MacBook Air’s starting price of around $999 (roughly Rs 90,655). Instead, it uses cost-saving choices to hit a lower price point while keeping Apple’s signature aluminum build quality. Leaks suggest bright, fun color options like silver, blue, pink, and yellow to appeal to younger buyers. With strong demand for affordable AI-capable laptops, this model could become a bestseller, especially as tools like advanced AI features gain popularity.
What To Expect From The Specifications
The Apple MacBook leak positions Apple against Chromebooks and entry-level Windows laptops, especially for education and light productivity. So, let’s take a quick look at its expected specs:
- Processor: A18 Pro chip (from iPhone 16 Pro) for solid performance, benchmarks put it close to the older M1 chip.
- Display: 12.9-inch or 13-inch LCD screen to keep costs down (no mini-LED).
- RAM & Storage: Likely starts at 8GB unified RAM and 256GB storage.
- Build: Aluminum chassis with a new, efficient manufacturing process for durability without high expense.
- Other: Expected long battery life, macOS with Apple Intelligence support, and fewer ports for simplicity.
