MacBook Neo

This is a slam dunk for people who need an iPad but want to run a real desktop OS. Perfect for small kids and students. It’s not designed to be docked to a monitor or high end peripherals. It’s meant for light productivity and entertainment on the couch or at a kitchen table. Perfect for non pro hom

The Macbook Neo was a masterstroke by Apple. They’ll cannibalize the low-cost laptop market. There aren’t any laptops that can compete with it at its price point.

why can’t they make an iPhone for $499 They can. They priced the iPhone competitively with the smart phone market and they priced the Neo competitively with the budget laptop market. You can't use a Neo as an iPhone and you can't use an iPhone as a Neo. Apple could definitely make it so that you COU

"i don't care what anyone says, but the MacBook Neo is not worth it, you should probably get a M2, M3 or M4 MacBook Air at a discount instead." Apple never said Neo is some kind of a power machine for coding or graphic design, it's basically a cheaper ipad that runs macos, good for school or some of

I'm not an Apple fan, but I like this news because it lights a fire under Microsoft's ass. They've been slowly destroying the Windows ecosystem and consumer trust for years.

The new MacBook Neo is equipped with two USB-C ports, but they are not the same. The left USB-C port supports USB 3 speeds of up to 10 Gb/s, while the right USB-C port closer to the trackpad is limited to USB 2 speeds of just 480 Mb/s. As a result, Apple says external display connectivity is support

suggesting that customers are upgrading to the ‌MacBook Neo‌ and the M5 ‌MacBook Air‌, rather than the new MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. I'm expecting the Neo will actually cannibalize sales of other Macs, as Apple customers had no other device to choose from until now. Those who

It’s a great student laptop at $499 with the education discount it makes more sense for parents to buy than an iPad. It’s Apple’s New Education Option (NEO) after all.

It's just the price and segment. 8GB on a MacBook Pro (which, in 2024, had a starting price of $1,599 despite having only 8GB of RAM) is horrible, and was never OK. 8GB on a MacBook Neo (which, in 2026 has a starting price of just $599) is perfectly fine. 24GB should be the minimum in 2026 (for a pr

There is lots of down playing the Neo from people it was never ment for. I'm not jumping to apple but honestly if my 60 year old next door neighbour asks for a recommendation in good faith I'd have to recommend the NEO. It means nothing to gamers but I hate to be a windows laptop producer in the mid
