I genuinely wonder who "lower-cost models" are targeted toward. I feel like anything that these things are designed to do can be done quite well on tablets.

Can't wait to hear how much a "lower cost" macbook costs. I bet it's still pricey.
I mean, an m4 air with 16GB RAM and a 256SSD destroys almost any windows laptop at 600USD, and that’s how much they’ve been going for. Any lower than that, even with 8GB RAM and that’s an extremely good deal.
I can't imagine it going anywhere near $599. That would undercut their current entry level models so much.
Those are pretty solid and bold colors.
Very… "contemporary"…
Surprised it doesn't come in Fascist White though.

Call me cynical, but I think you've put quotes around the wrong part of your title.
Try around "accidentally".
While I agree that sometimes these leaks are “accidental”, it’s legitimately difficult to keep a secret like this as it gets closer to announce, when more and more people (regulators, retailers, marketers etc) have to be briefed
The story is gone
Suspicious
Wasn't that also the name of a Microsoft Surface device? 🤔
