With an XXL screen and the power of the M5 chip, Apple's future foldable MacBook promises to be a real revolution in the world of laptops.

Apple seems determined to once again shake up the codes of the laptop market. According to the latest rumors from well-informed sources, the Cupertino company is working on a brand new MacBook concept: a foldable model to be marketed in 2026.

Nantes printing screen dimensions for a laptop

According to the information gleaned, this Apple foldable MacBook would have a screen of particularly impressive dimensions for a portable device. Two sizes would be considered: either a 20.3-inch screen, or a slightly more compact 18.8-inch format.

To have a point of comparison, remember that the average diagonal of a classic MacBook is around 13 to 16 inches. With almost double the display area, this future foldable MacBook from Apple would open up new perspectives in terms of user experience, particularly for office automation, content creation and multitasking.

An ultra-powerful Apple M5 chip under the hood

In terms of performance, Apple is banking on its latest generation of in-house chip, the M5, to equip its foldable MacBook. This new generation chip should offer unprecedented computing power and energy efficiency, making it possible to fully exploit the potential offered by this XXL screen.

Although the precise technical details are not yet known, we can expect that this foldable MacBook from Apple will be able to meet all challenges, from intensive office work to the most demanding creative tasks.

A high price that matches the ambitions of the product

It now remains to be seen at what price this new generation foldable MacBook will be sold. Given the on-board technologies and the high-end positioning announced, there is little doubt that this product will be placed in the premium segment, with a probably high price.

Rumors suggest a sale price of between 2,500 and 3,000 euros, or even more. Such a range will position this foldable MacBook as a luxury laptop, accessible only to the most demanding and wealthy users.

Although the general public will undoubtedly have to wait a few years before seeing this concept become more widely available, this foldable MacBook from Apple promises to be a real innovation that could revolutionize the high-end laptop market.
