It is expected to feature a 13-inch display and come in the same silver, blue, pink, and yellow color options like the ‌iPad‌. MacBook Air. The machine is expected to launch in early 2026 with a price point somewhere below the $999 ‌MacBook Air‌, but above the ‌iPad‌. https://www.rula.com/mac #rulapod
