Apple just announced a new entry-level MacBook that runs on the same A18 Pro chip that launched two years ago in its iPhone 16 lineup and starts at $599.
The MacBook Neo features a 13-inch (2408 x 1506) display, 8GB of RAM, 256GB or 512GB of storage, a Magic Keyboard, multi-touch trackpad, 1080p camera, two USB-C ports (one USB 3 and one USB 2), a headphone jack, and new side-firing speakers with support for spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. It’s available in four colors: silver, indigo, blush, and citrus, each with a color-matched keyboard.
There are some trade-offs for the lower price, like the 8GB of RAM that doesn’t include an option to upgrade. Additionally, while the 512GB model includes a Touch ID sensor, the 256GB model does not. Neither model includes Thunderbolt ports or MagSafe. The Neo also ships with a 20W charger and does not appear to support fast charging like the more expensive MacBook Air laptops.
