Could a budget-friendly MacBook be on the horizon? This discussion explores the Macbook Neo concept and how Apple's unified chip platform, from mobile to M-series, gives them the flexibility to launch such a device.

00:00This was a bit more of a surprise, because it feels like way less of an Apple thing to do.
00:04And it's arrived at a time in the market where, yeah, we need really cheap PCs. And I think through
00:09Apple Silicon, they can offer it because they're using the same platform for everything, just to varying degrees of the
00:16Silicon that they're putting in there.
00:17I mean, it really is the same sort of thing. I mean, they have different OSs, but the core of
00:21that Apple Silicon now, running from mobile chips, which they started out in, all the way up to the tippy
00:27-top M-series chips, like the M5s, you know, that's all the same stuff.
00:31And that gives them that flexibility and scalability to bring in a device like that running on a mobile chip
00:36and still go, yeah, but it's running macOS and it's still a Mac.
00:38And it also means that they can sit there and go, okay, well, maybe we're not selling as many iPhones
00:43as we wanted to. Let's do something different with that and create a mass market chip that can also bring
00:50people into the ecosystem, which I think is another string to the bow of the MacBook Neo.
