CUPERTINO:<\/strong> Apple Inc. on Tuesday unveiled a new lineup of MacBook laptops, with prices starting at $1,099, as the technology giant seeks to bolster demand in a global PC market facing contraction and ongoing memory chip shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refreshed range includes updated MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, which remain central to Apple\u2019s personal computing segment and its broader strategy of advancing custom silicon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 13-inch MacBook Air variant is priced from $1,099, while the MacBook Pro series powered by the new M5 Pro chip starts at $2,199.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since transitioning from Intel processors to its in-house M-series chips in 2020, Apple has highlighted improvements in performance and battery efficiency. The move to proprietary silicon has enabled the company to further differentiate its devices from Windows-based PC manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the Mac business contributes a smaller share of overall revenue compared to the iPhone, it remains strategically significant for Apple, particularly within the education sector, creative industries and premium consumer markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry analysts note that the latest hardware refresh comes at a time when global PC shipments have been under pressure, with component supply constraints and cautious consumer spending affecting demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
