- Post a comment / read (1) Apple has launched the MacBook Neo, its most affordable laptop to date, starting at $599 (or $499 with education discount), featuring the A18 Pro chip from recent iPhones for strong everyday performance and AI tasks. The 13-inch Liquid Retina display model offers up to 16 hours of battery life, a colorful aluminum design in blush, indigo, silver, and citrus, plus features like a 1080p camera and Spatial Audio speakers. Pre-orders began immediately after the March 4 announcement, with availability starting March 11. While praised for accessibility and build quality rivaling pricier Macs, some critics note the fixed 8GB RAM may limit future multitasking. The device positions Apple to compete aggressively against budget Windows PCs and Chromebooks in price-sensitive markets.
