【】Turn your iPad into a second monitor

So, you love Apple products but you also love still having money in your bank account — what's a shopper to do?

Why, buy one of Apple's rumored less-expensive MacBook Airs allegedly dropping later this year, of course.。

Predicting what's going on inside the minds at 1 Apple Park Way is a notoriously tricky proposition, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities has a track record of being pretty damn good at it. His latest investor note, according to 9to5Mac， suggests the tech behemoth plans to release a MacBook Air “with a lower price tag” sometime in the second quarter of 2018. 。

At present, a 13-inch MacBook Air sells for $999 or $1,199 — depending on the specifications. While merely the expectation of a lower price tag doesn't give us a lot to go on, it does suggest that Apple sees a way to get its wildly popular laptop into even more hands: Make it cheaper. 。

Thanks for signing up! 。

Which, yeah, brilliant. 。

Kuo has some other thoughts about what may be coming down the Apple-shaped pike, too. Specifically, he notes that we should look for an updated AirPod later this year. 。

Oh, and he also drops a little nugget of possible truth about the HomePod. Namely, that demand for it is merely "mediocre." Maybe if they released a cheaper version? Hey, I'm just spitballing here. 。
