MacBook Neo

The MacBook Neo is Apple's new budget laptop, equipped with the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 Pro. It is available in four colors and starts at $599 for 256GB of storage, with a 512GB configuration and Touch ID power button available for a $100 upgrade. The notebook features a 13-inch display, a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, two USB-C ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and two side-firing speakers.

Apple rates the MacBook Neo for up to 16 hours of battery life, and the machine weighs just 2.7 pounds. It also includes a Magic Keyboard and a Multi-Touch trackpad. In the price comparison charts, the best prices for the 256GB model have recently ranged from about $689 to the regular $699, while 512GB models have been seen from around $785.

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air remains Apple's most affordable notebook, combining cost, performance, and portability in a thin design. In March 2026, Apple updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air with its latest M5 chip, featuring a 10-core CPU and what Apple calls the world's fastest CPU cores. The chip also includes up to 10 GPU cores with Neural Accelerators, delivering up to four times faster performance for AI tasks than the previous M4-based model.

The M5 MacBook Air adds Apple's custom N1 wireless chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 connectivity. Storage now starts at 512GB and is configurable up to 4TB. In recent price comparisons, some 13-inch M5 models have dropped to around $1,199, while 15-inch models have been seen at $1,399, making the Air a strong option for value-focused buyers.

MacBook Pro

The MacBook Pro is Apple's most powerful notebook, and the latest update brings M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro starts at $2,199, while the 16-inch version starts at $2,699. The 14-inch M5 Max model starts at $3,599, and the 16-inch M5 Max model starts at $3,899. Both new chips use a Fusion Architecture that bonds two third-generation 3nm dies into a single chip with advanced packaging.

The M5 Pro and M5 Max chips feature an 18-core CPU, up from the 14-core and 16-core designs of the previous generation. Apple says the 16-inch model can last up to 24 hours on a single charge and can fast-charge to 50 percent in about 30 minutes with a 96W or higher USB-C adapter. Price comparisons show frequent discounts on both 14-inch and 16-inch models, with some 14-inch M5 Pro configurations available for around $2,259.

iMac

Apple's iMac is an ultra-thin all-in-one desktop that was refreshed with the M4 chip in October 2024. The M4 iMac comes in a range of colors and includes a new nano-texture display option, along with significant speed and efficiency improvements. Apple also raised the base memory to 16GB, with configurations available up to 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of SSD storage.

The current 24-inch iMac models start at $1,299 for the 8-core M4 chip with 256GB of storage, while higher-end 10-core M4 configurations with 512GB or 1TB storage are available at higher price points. Recent deals have brought some configurations down to around $1,424 or $1,459, depending on the retailer and color choice.

Mac mini

The Mac mini is Apple's most compact desktop, designed for users who already have a display, keyboard, and mouse. Apple introduced a redesigned M4 and M4 Pro Mac mini in October 2024, marking the first major design change for the product in over a decade. The M4 models start at $599, making the Mac mini one of the most affordable entry points into the Mac ecosystem.

Retailers have been offering the M4 Mac mini with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD at various prices, with some configurations listed near $799. The M4 Pro models start higher and are aimed at professionals who need additional performance for demanding workflows.

Mac Pro

The Mac Pro is Apple's desktop machine for professionals, and the current model was introduced in June 2023 with the M2 Ultra chip. It features a 24-core CPU, support for up to a 76-core GPU, and up to 192GB of memory. The tower design includes eight Thunderbolt 4 ports, two high-bandwidth HDMI ports, seven PCIe expansion slots, dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and a headphone jack.

The Mac Pro starts at $6,999, and custom configurations can push the price significantly higher. Because of the wide range of build options, shoppers are encouraged to compare pricing across retailers for specific configurations before making a purchase.

Mac Studio

Apple announced the Mac Studio in March 2022 as a powerful companion to the Studio Display, and the third-generation version arrived in March 2025 with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip options. The chassis remains similar to a larger Mac mini, with two front ports and an SD card slot, while the rear offers four Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, two USB-A ports, a headphone jack, and a power button.

The Mac Studio starts at $1,999. When paired with the 27-inch Studio Display, it serves as a modern replacement for the 27-inch iMac as Apple's high-end desktop solution. The Studio Display features 5K resolution, up to 600 nits of brightness, P3 wide color support, and an A13 Bionic chip for advanced camera and audio features.

Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is available in three main models: Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3. The Series 11 is the flagship device, offering hypertension detection, Sleep Score, 5G connectivity, and a full set of health sensors including heart rate and ECG. The SE 3 is a lower-cost alternative with an S10 chip, always-on display, Double Tap support, wrist temperature sensing, and sleep apnea detection.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 targets athletes and explorers with satellite connectivity, 5G cellular, and the largest display Apple has ever put in a watch. Recent deals have brought GPS Series 11 models down to around $299, while SE 3 models have been available from about $219. Ultra 3 models have also seen discounts of up to $100 or more on select bands.

Apple TV

The Apple TV 4K is Apple's set-top box for bringing the Apple ecosystem to the television. The current model, updated in October 2022, includes an A15 Bionic chip, HDR10+ support, and the new Siri Remote. The 64GB base model is priced at $129, while a 128GB version adds an ethernet port and support for Thread networking.

While the hardware has not been updated in a few years, the Apple TV 4K remains a popular choice for those invested in Apple services. Retailers often offer small discounts on both storage tiers, with the 128GB model frequently seen at around $249.

iPad Pro

The iPad Pro lineup includes 11-inch and 13-inch models, both updated in October 2025 with the M5 chip. The tablets feature Ultra Retina XDR OLED displays, an optional nano-texture display, and an extremely thin design. The 11-inch model is 5.3mm thick and weighs less than a pound, while the 13-inch model is Apple's thinnest product ever at 5.1mm.

The M5 chip brings improved AI performance, faster storage, and better memory bandwidth. Apple's custom N1 networking chip adds Wi-Fi 7 support, and cellular models use the C1X chip for up to 50 percent faster cellular data speeds. The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999, and the 13-inch model starts at $1,299. Recent price comparisons show select 256GB Wi-Fi models available for as low as $1,139 for the 11-inch and $1,422 for the 13-inch.

iPad Air

In March 2026, Apple introduced a new iPad Air with the M4 chip, available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. The tablet sits between the entry-level iPad and the iPad Pro, offering many Pro-like features at a lower price. It includes a 12-megapixel Center Stage front camera, 12-megapixel rear camera, Touch ID power button, USB-C with up to 10 Gbps data transfer, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6.

The 11-inch iPad Air starts at $749, while the 13-inch model starts at $949. The device supports the Apple Pencil Pro and comes in four colors. Shoppers looking to save even more may find discounts on previous-generation 2024 iPad Air models, which are often available at lower prices once a new generation arrives.

iPad

Apple updated the entry-level iPad in March 2025 with an A16 chip, delivering up to 30 percent faster performance than the previous model. The base storage was doubled to 128GB, and new 256GB and 512GB configurations were added. The 128GB Wi-Fi model starts at $349, with four color options available.

The iPad is a popular choice for students and families who want Apple's tablet experience at a budget price.
