Deep dives
Apple's Mac lineup lacks a budget option
During the podcast, the hosts discuss whether Apple has a Mac for every price and performance category. They agree that Apple has a gap at the very low end, where they don't offer a true budget laptop. While the MacBook Air starts at $999 in the Apple store, it is still not considered budget-friendly for many users. They acknowledge that Apple serves other price points well, but there seems to be a gap in the market for a more affordable Mac.
