Apple's Budget-Friendly MacBook Neo Preorders Now Live

The Apple MacBook Neo is now available for pre-order at a competitive starting price of $599 on March 11th, marking a significant entry point into the company’s laptop lineup. With an aluminum design, 13-inch display, and four-color options, the Neo appears to be a more affordable alternative to the MacBook Air, despite lacking Thunderbolt ports and MagSafe. The laptop features Apple’s A18 Pro chip, which should provide fast performance for everyday use cases like streaming and browsing, although it may not be suitable for demanding tasks. Pre-order options are available at $599 for the 256GB model and $699 for the 512GB model, with a TouchID sensor added to the latter. Students and educators can also take advantage of discounted prices for these models. With its attractive pricing and sleek design, the MacBook Neo is poised to become a popular choice among students and professionals alike, making it an ideal gift option for graduates and back-to-school season.
