<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/11/Logitech-Combo-Touch-iPad-A16.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>Next year, Apple will be introducing an even more affordable MacBook model  (https://9to5mac.com/2025/11/15/budget-macbook-model-coming-next-year-a18-pro-chip/)to better compete with Chromebooks. It’s expected to come in around $699, offer an A18 Pro chip, and a 13-inch LCD display. While that’s likely going to be an excellent offering, there’s the simple fact that a lot of people buying Chromebooks are targeting even cheaper price points than that.</p>



<p>Luckily, Apple already has an excellent solution for some of these potential: the iPad, in pairing with a keyboard setup of your choosing.</p>
