According to a new report from Bloomberg, Macs are about to get a serious revamp. Don't expect a redesigned chassis or better displays, though. This new era is all about AI -- betcha didn't see that one coming.

Reporter Mark Gurman says that Apple is expected to refresh the entire lineup of Macs with M4 chips that "emphasize" AI capabilities starting in late 2024 and heading into 2025. It's unknown whether this new emphasis is just marketing or will refer to a true technical change. Apple's Neural Engine has been part of the Mac since 2020, when it was introduced in the M1 chip for the purpose of speeding up AI workloads.
