The A18 Pro chip gives everyday work plenty of responsiveness while also bringing Apple's latest AI capabilities to an entry-level Mac. Its dedicated 16-core Neural Engine, hardware ray tracing and media engine mean it can handle far more than basic web browsing.

For students, the combination of a lightweight 1.23kg chassis and up to 16 hours of video streaming makes it easy to carry between lectures and use throughout the day.
