Why This Matters
Apple used to have a 12-inch MacBook with a thin design and a low-power Core M chip, and it’s been suggested that this new MacBook could be something of a revival of that machine. Thinner and lighter typically means more expensive with Apple products, so a super slim design might not be what Apple is optimizing for.

Tech companies have been making moves like this as competition heats up.
Key Takeaways
- A thicker chassis and a super efficient chip could mean a long battery life, which would be ideal for an educational environment.

Not all of those colors are likely to ship, but it sounds like we’ll get at least four of them. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks the MacBook will come in yellow, silver, blue, and pink, which would be the same colors that Apple offers for the iPad .
