"The MacBook Neo was "built from the ground up to be more affordable for even more people," according to John Ternus, Apple's hardware engineering chief. This represents a major shift for Apple, which has been reluctant for decades to launch a low-end Mac laptop. The speed of its iPhone processors allowed the company to bring its pricing down measurably without significantly sacrificing performance."
"The machine is $400 less than any new-generation laptop Apple has sold before, coming in well below the now $1,099 MacBook Air. The MacBook Neo will be offered in citrus, silver, indigo and blush color options, potentially making it appealing both to students and mainstream consumers."
"The base model includes 256 gigabytes of storage, while a $699 upgraded version doubles the capacity and adds Touch ID for logging into and approving payments. There are also $100 discounts on each model for education buyers, bringing the entry price down to $499."
Apple introduced the MacBook Neo at $599, marking a significant departure from its traditional premium pricing strategy. This 13-inch laptop is $400 cheaper than any previous new-generation MacBook and targets budget-conscious consumers, students, and mainstream buyers. The device features an iPhone A18 Pro chip, the first smartphone processor used in a Mac, enabling Apple to reduce pricing without major performance compromises. The base model includes 256GB storage, with an upgraded $699 version offering 512GB and Touch ID. Educational buyers receive $100 discounts. The MacBook Neo offers 16 hours of battery life, 8GB RAM, a 6-core CPU, and 5-core GPU. Available in four colors, pre-orders began Wednesday with deliveries starting March 11.
