Apple introduced an all-new affordable Mac today, the MacBook Neo. Members of the media were invited to try the new device and other Apple products at events in New York, Shanghai, and London, and MacRumors' videographer Dan Barbera was in attendance. Dan was able to see the MacBook Neo in person, as well as other devices like the new Studio Display XDR. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. The MacBook Neo looks and feels a lot like the MacBook Air, because it's almost the same size and has an aluminum chassis. It's thicker than the MacBook Air, but it has a 13-inch display, and it also weighs 2.7 pounds. Apple designed the MacBook Neo from the ground up, and it comes in some fun colors like Silver, Indigo, Blush, and Citrus. Each of the notebooks has a color matched keyboard and trackpad, but the keyboard has no backlighting and the trackpad isn't the higher-end Force Touch trackpad Apple uses in its other Macs. It's a physical trackpad with an actual click rather than haptic feedback for presses, and it doesn't support multitouch gestures. There is no notch, with Apple instead adopting an iPad-style design with thicker bezels that house the front-facing camera. Speakers are located on the exterior sides of the device, which is new, and Spatial Audio is supported. The MacBook Neo has a bit of a cheaper feel compared to the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro because of the thicker bezels and the changes to the trackpad, but it is still an excellent machine for the price. Apple used the A18 Pro chip in the MacBook Neo, which is technically an iPhone chip. It was first introduced in the iPhone 16 Pro, and while it's a powerful chip, it doesn't match the performance of Apple's newer M-series chips. There's only 8GB RAM included, and 60GB/s memory bandwidth, half that of the MacBook Air. Apple says the MacBook Neo is up to 50 percent faster for everyday tasks than the bestselling PC with an Intel Core Ultra 5 chip, which is an apt comparison because this is aimed at people who might instead buy a lower-cost Windows laptop or Chromebook. The MacBook Neo is up to two times faster at photo editing, and three times faster when it comes to on-device AI workloads, according to Apple. You get a Retina quality display, but only 500 nits brightness and no add-on features like True Tone or P3 Wide color. There are two USB-C ports, but only one is USB3 with DisplayPort 1.4 support. You can connect a single 4K 60Hz display to the MacBook Neo. Battery life is a little low for a device the size of a MacBook Air with an A-series chip, and it lasts for up to 16 hours. Bluetooth 6 and Wi-Fi 6E are supported, so it is compatible with 6GHz networks. We'll have more in-depth hands-on coverage of the MacBook Neo and Apple's other new products next week.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:19 pmMacBook Neo: Everything you need to know about the new budget Mac
Macworld The MacBook Neo is a new laptop from Apple that is sure to be a big hit because it comes in at a much lower price than the MacBook Air, starting at $599/£599 compared to the MacBook Air’s $1,099/£1,099. If the price isn’t enticing enough, then the colorful chassis, available in silver, indigo, blush and citrus is bound to be popular. But as popular as this new MacBook is likely to be, there are still some tradeoffs, read on to find out what they are and everything else you need to know about Apple’s new MacBook Neo.

Shipping from March 11: Begins the following week with in-store availability at Apple Stores and resellers from March 11. You will be able to pre-order the new MacBook Neo on March 4 from the Apple Store and via the Apple Store app. Apple states that all models will begin arriving to customers, and will be in Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Resellers, starting Wednesday, March 11. Pre-order from Apple MacBook Neo Buying Information: Price Starting price: $599 / £599 The new MacBook Neo starts at the low price of $599 / £599, even lower than we had anticipated. Prior to the launch of the MacBook Neo the cheapest laptop Apple sold was the $999 MacBook Air, but with the launch of the M5 MacBook Air Apple raised the price of the MacBook Air to $1,099/£1,099. As a result there is a $500/£500 gap between the price of the two Macs. You could essentially buy two MacBook Neo for the price of a MacBook Air. Apple clearly recognises that there is a market for a low-cost MAcBook. Until recently, Walmart has been selling the M1 MacBook Air with a 256GB SSD for $649 and sometimes $599. The new MacBook could be thought of as a replacement for this Walmart model. The low price of $599, should help Apple to compete with Chromebooks and Windows laptops. Once the new MacBook Neo models are on sale they will be available to purchase from Apple and third-party stockists. MacBook Neo Buying Information: Configuration options Processor: Apple A18 Pro chip Memory: 8GB unified memory (base) Storage: 256GB SSD or 512GB SSD Colors: Silver, indigo, blush, citrus Other: Keyboard options. The configuration options for the MacBook Neo are very basic. There are no options to increase RAM beyond the basic 8GB unified memory. U.K based and European shippers will need to add a Power Adapter if they need one as Apple no longer includes that in the box. MacBook Neo Design: What does the MacBook Neo look like? Apple Colorful aluminum chassis in Silver, Blush, Citrus, Indigo Back in June 2023 analyst Ming-Chi Kuo accurately predicted the following colors: silver, blue, pink, and yellow. That is close to the Silver, Blush, Citrus, Indigo on offer. The colorful chassis is aimed at students and casual users. The MacBook Neo has a thin notebook design similar to other MacBooks and it lightweight. The dimensions are: Height 1.27 cm (0.50 inches) Width 29.75 cm (11.71 inches) Depth 20.64 cm (8.12 inches) Weight 1.23 kg (2.7 pounds) This means it is a similar size and the same weight as the MacBook Air. MacBook Neo Display: How good is the display? Apple 13-inch Liquid Retina display 2408×1506 pixels 500 nits brightness sRGB Like the MacBook Air the MacBook Neo features a Liquid Retina (LED-backlit display with IPS technology) display, but the display on the MacBook Neo is slightly smaller at 13 inches than that on the MacBook Air, which measures 13.6 inches diagonally. Brightness is 500 nits, just like the MacBook Air, but significantly lower than the MacBook Pro model, which offers 1,600 peak brightness. Unlike the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro the MacBook Neo display is sRGB rather than Wide colour (P3) and it also lacks True Tone technology, which adjusts color temperature based on ambient light, e.g. to better suit outside on a sunny day, or inside in a lit room. This means the MacBook Neo can’t compete which the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro screens, which offers more vibrant, richer colours that are better for creative work (photo/video editing, design). We expect that colors on the MacBook Neo screen will still look good, but be less saturated and less accurate for professional color work. MacBook Neo performance: What processor does MacBook Neo use? A18 Pro 6-core CPU 5-core GPU The MacBook Neo marks the first time Apple has used an iPhone-class chip in a Mac instead of one of Apple’s M-series processors. It is powered by the A18 Pro, the same processor used in the iPhone 16 Pro. While Apple’s A-series and M-series chips share the same underlying architecture, the M-series processors are designed for laptops and desktops and generally offer greater overall performance. In benchmark comparisons, the A18 Pro delivers single-core performance roughly comparable to the M3, according to Geekbench 6 results. However, with six CPU cores instead of the eight found in the M1, its multi-core performance is slightly behind Apple’s first-generation Apple Silicon Mac chip. In practice, a MacBook Neo powered by the A18 Pro is likely to perform similarly to an M1 MacBook Air for everyday tasks – which is more than fast enough for typical workloads such as web browsing, productivity apps and media consumption. The chip should still provide solid everyday performance, with a GPU capable of handling casual graphics tasks and light gaming. It also includes Apple’s Neural Engine, enabling on-device AI features and support for Apple Intelligence. As for graphics performance, the A18 Pro has a 6-core GPU, and its Metal score in Geekbench 6’s Compute benchmark is similar to that of the M1 found in the MacBook Air. It’s not a cutting-edge performer, but it’ll handle everyday tasks without any issues. MacBook Neo Connectivity & Ports Michael Simon / Foundry The MacBook Neo supports Bluetooth 6, but not Wi-Fi 7. Instead, it offers Wi-Fi 6E, which is one generation behind the latest Wi-Fi standard. Apple has begun using its own wireless networking chip, the N1, in newer devices such as the MacBook Air, so there had been some expectation that it might also appear in the MacBook Neo. However, that is not the case here. There were also rumours that the new Mac could include cellular connectivity using Apple’s C1 or C1X modem, but the MacBook Neo does not support cellular networking. The budget MacBook includes two USB-C ports. One supports USB 3, while the other is limited to USB 2 speeds. There is no Thunderbolt support. Neither port offers MagSafe so the MacBook Neo relies on USB-C for charging. MacBook Neo Camera & Audio features 1080p FaceTime camera Stereo speakers with spatial audio/Dolby Atmos The MacBook Neo includes a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, which will. provide full HD video and basic webcam functionality for video calls. This is a trade-off compared to other Macs which offer a more advanced 12MP Centre Stage camera camera. There are two built-in microphones that use beamforming and noise-reduction technology to capture voice without background noise. MacBook Neo’s stereo speaker system features side-firing speakers and offers Spatial Audio support and Dolby Atmos compatibility. The MacBook Neo also does not support high-impedance headphones, likely because it uses the same lower-cost audio DAC found in the older M1 MacBook Air. MacBook Neo Battery & Charging 16 hours of battery life Doesn’t support fast charging The new MacBook Neo offers up to 16 hours of battery life, which is two hours less than the MacBook Air and lower than any other MacBook currently sold, but it should still provide enough power for a day’s use browsing, streaming video, and working in productivity apps. The Neo’s battery is about 30–45% smaller than the Air, with the efficiencies of Apple’s silicon allowing it to achieve just a two hour difference in battery life. We’ll be running our own battery life tests to verify this. Here’s how battery capacity compares to the MacBook Air: MacBook Neo: 36.5 wh. 13-inch MacBook Air: 52.6 Wh 15-inch MacBook Air: 66.5 Wh The real trade-off is in charging. MacBook Neo only offers USB-C charging at 20W and it doesn’t support fast charging, which is offered by all other MacBook models. A18 Pro: Performance05:17 pmMacBook Neo vs. MacBook Air Buyer's Guide: 40 Differences Compared
The MacBook Neo is now Apple's entry-level MacBook, undercutting the MacBook Air by $500. To deliver such a dramatically lower price, the MacBook Neo has a significant number of tradeoffs. Here's everything that's different between the two devices. Apple's introduction of the MacBook Neo expands the company's laptop lineup with a far more affordable entry point, sitting well below the MacBook Air in both price and capability. While the two machines share a similar size and lightweight design, they are aimed at very different types of users. The MacBook Neo focuses on delivering the essentials of the Mac experience at the lowest possible cost, while the MacBook Air offers significantly more performance, features, and flexibility. Design The MacBook Neo and the 13-inch MacBook Air have similar dimensions. The MacBook Air remains thinner, but the MacBook Neo has a slightly smaller overall footprint owing to its smaller display. Both machines weigh 2.7 pounds (1.23 kg). MacBook Neo MacBook Air Height 0.50 inch (1.27 cm) 0.44 inch (1.13 cm) Width 11.71 inches (29.75 cm) 11.97 inches (30.41 cm) Depth 8.12 inches (20.64 cm) 8.46 inches (21.5 cm) There are still some notable design differences. The MacBook Neo does not have a backlit keyboard or a haptic trackpad, and only has Touch ID when configured with 512GB of storage for an extra $100. They are also available in different selections of color options, with the MacBook Neo's color extending to the Magic Keyboard in a lighter shade. MacBook Neo MacBook Air Available in Silver, Blush, Indigo, and Citrus Available in Silver, Sky Blue, Midnight, and Starlight Touch ID on 512GB models only Touch ID Magic Keyboard or Magic Keyboard with Touch ID Backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID Color-matched Magic Keyboard Black Magic Keyboard Mechanical Multi-Touch trackpad Haptic Force Touch trackpad with pressure-sensing capabilities Display "notch" Display The MacBook Air's display is slightly larger and supports True Tone and P3 wide color. Both are Liquid Retina displays with 500 nits of brightness.

The A18 Pro is still a capable chip, but the M5 is around 20% faster for single-core tasks and 80% faster for multi-core tasks. The M5 chip also has more than double the GPU throughput of the A18 Pro and features Neural Accelerators.

While both have two USB-C ports, the MacBook Air's are considerably more capable in terms of data transfer and external display support. MacBook Neo MacBook Air Wi-Fi 6E connectivity Wi-Fi 7 connectivity One USB 3 (10 Gb/s) port and one USB 2 port (480 Mb/s) Two Thunderbolt 4 ports (40 Gb/s) Support for one 4K external display at 60Hz Support for two 6K external displays up 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz 3.5mm headphone jack 3.5mm headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones Magnetic MagSafe 3 charging port Other Differences The most significant difference between the MacBook Neo and the MacBook Air is price: The MacBook Air costs $500 more. It is also much more configurable, with higher amounts of memory and storage available. MacBook Neo MacBook Air Ambient light sensor 256GB or 512GB storage 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB storage Starts at $599 Starts at $1,099 Which to Choose? Choosing between the MacBook Neo and the MacBook Air primarily comes down to how demanding your needs are and how much you want to spend. The MacBook Neo is clearly positioned as Apple's most accessible notebook, delivering the core Mac experience at the lowest possible price. For users who primarily need a reliable computer for basic everyday tasks, the Neo provides enough performance. Its lower cost also makes it an appealing option for households purchasing multiple computers, such as for kids or family use. For first-time Mac owners, the MacBook Neo is also likely to be the most sensible starting point. It offers the same software experience as Apple's more expensive laptops, allowing new users to explore the platform without a large financial commitment. In many cases, buyers moving from inexpensive Windows laptops or Chromebooks will find the Neo significantly faster and better built than devices in the same price range. The MacBook Air, by contrast, is aimed at users who expect higher performance, greater longevity, and a more feature-rich, premium experience. Its more powerful M5 chip, memory options, larger display, and significantly more capable connectivity make it far better suited to multitasking, professional workloads, and creative applications. Users who regularly work with large files, run demanding software, connect multiple external displays, or want a machine that will remain comfortable to use for many years will benefit from choosing the Air. In practical terms, the MacBook Neo is best viewed as a budget entry point into the Mac lineup, while the MacBook Air remains Apple's mainstream ultraportable for most people. Buyers who simply want a dependable Mac for everyday computing can save money with the Neo, but those who want stronger performance, better hardware features, and a laptop that will scale to more demanding tasks over time should consider spending the extra money on the MacBook Air.Related Roundup: MacBook AirTag: MacBook (A18 Pro)Buyer's Guide: 15" MacBook Air (Buy Now), 13" MacBook Air (Buy Now)Related Forum: MacBook AirThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:00 pmApple Announces Low-Cost 'MacBook Neo' With A18 Pro Chip
Continuing its product launches this week, Apple today announced the "MacBook Neo," an all-new, low-cost Mac featuring the A18 Pro chip. It starts at $599 and begins shipping on Wednesday, March 11. MacRumors reports: The MacBook Neo is the first Mac to be powered by an iPhone chip; the A18 Pro debuted in 2024's iPhone 16 Pro models. Apple says it is up to 50% faster for everyday tasks than the bestselling PC with the latest shipping Intel Core Ultra 5, up to 3x faster for on-device AI workloads, and up to 2x faster for tasks like photo editing. The MacBook Neo features a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2408-by-1506 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and an anti-reflective coating. The display does not have a notch, instead featuring uniform, iPad-style bezels. It is available in Silver, Indigo, Blush, and Citrus color options. The colored finishes extend to the Magic Keyboard in lighter shades and come with matching wallpapers. It weighs 2.7 pounds. There are two USB-C ports. One is a USB-C 2 port with support for speeds up to 480 Mb/s and one is a USB-C 3 port with support for speeds up to 10 Gb/s. There is also a headphone jack. The MacBook Neo also offers a 16-hour battery life, 8GB of unified memory, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6 connectivity, a 1080p front-facing camera, dual mics with directional beamforming, and dual side-firing speakers with Spatial Audio.

Apple's new low-cost MacBook Neo is equipped with the A18 Pro chip that Apple first used in the iPhone 16 Pro, and it's the first Mac that has an A-series chip. Using an iPhone chip in a Mac comes with some downsides, like external display support. The MacBook Neo supports a single external display with a 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. The MacBook Neo will not work with the new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR that Apple announced yesterday because both of those are 5K displays, but it will work with affordable USB-C 4K display options from companies like LG, Dell, and Samsung. There are two USB-C ports in the MacBook Neo, but only one supports DisplayPort 1.4 for an external display. An external monitor will need to be plugged into the appropriate port, which is the USB 3 port closest to the rear of the device. There is no Thunderbolt support, which is what other Macs use for multiple displays, and how the Studio Display options connect. Adding a second display might be possible using a third-party DisplayLink adapter, as has been the case with other Macs with display limitations, but this has not been tested yet. While there's official support for just one external display, the MacBook Neo can at least drive the extra display and its own built-in display at full native resolution. The MacBook Neo has a 13-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2408 x 1506 at 219 pixels per inch. The MacBook Neo is priced starting at $599, and it is available for pre-order today from Apple's website.

Yet to get a lower cost, there are key things that the MacBook Neo has to lack compared to the next model, the MacBook Air.The most visible of these is the screen — but then probably only if you put them side by side.

Apple this week unveiled seven products, including an iPhone 17e, an iPad Air with the M4 chip, updated MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, a new Studio Display, a higher-end Studio Display XDR, and an all-new MacBook Neo that starts at just $599. iPhone 17e features the same overall design as the iPhone 16e, but it gains Apple's A19 chip, MagSafe for magnetic wireless charging and magnetic accessories, Apple's second-generation C1X modem for faster 5G, and a doubled 256GB of base storage. In the U.S., the iPhone 17e starts at $599, just like the iPhone 16e did. The new iPad Air's key upgrades include Apple's M4 chip, an increased 12GB of RAM, Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, and the C1X modem in cellular models. The MacBook Air received a faster M5 chip, and a doubled 512GB of base storage, but the starting price increased from $999 to $1,099 as a result of a 256GB configuration being dropped. With the N1 chip, the MacBook Air now has Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and it now comes with Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max. The higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models finally received M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, plus up to twice as fast SSD speeds and a doubled 1TB of base storage. Battery life has increased slightly across all of the models, and the N1 chip extends to the MacBook Pro line now for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support. The regular Studio Display gained Thunderbolt 5 support and improved speakers, and the camera now supports Desk View. There is also an all-new, higher-end Studio Display XDR that gained all of those benefits, plus bigger improvements such as a 120Hz refresh rate, mini-LED backlighting, increased brightness, and more. The colorful new MacBook Neo starts at just $599 in the United States, and at an even lower $499 for college students. Available in Blush, Citrus, Indigo, and Silver, the MacBook Neo is powered by the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone, and it is equipped with a 13-inch display, up to 512GB of storage, and a non-configurable 8GB of RAM.

Today marks three days straight of Apple product launches, with the MacBook Neo being the third new Mac to debut. Here are details on the three new MacBooks that have been announced. more…03:44 pmThe MacBook Neo showed me everything I know is a lie
Macworld There’s a famous scene in The Matrix just before Neo takes the red pill from Morpheus, where the latter is explaining what the Matrix is. He tells Neo that the world he lives in is a construct, and the red pill will disrupt the simulation and reveal the truth. Apple’s new MacBook Neo is the red pill. Had I not known the price before I picked one up, I would have guessed it cost at least $799 and possibly $999, depending on the specs. It doesn’t just disrupt that laptop landscape with a machine that has no right to exist in the budget market. It changes everything people think they know about Apple. Picking it up feels just as premium as a MacBook Air. The Neo is made of what feels like the same aluminum as Apple’s high-end laptop, although its array of colors—Citrus (yellow), Blush (pink), Indigo (dark blue), and silver—gives a playful vibe. But make no mistake, it’s built for serious work. The MacBook Neo could be a $999 MacBook Air.Michael Simon / Foundry For the first time since the iBook, the keyboard (which has the same bouncy Magic Keyboard feel as the Air) isn’t black, but they’re not totally white either. They have a tint that matches the case color when they catch the light, one of the premium touches that belies the $599 starting price. Open the screen on a table with one finger, and the body won’t lift up like so many plastic PCs and Chromebooks. Start typing, and your fingers will fly around the keys. Play a video and the side-firing speakers will immerse you in sound. Raise the brightness and the 13-inch Liquid Retina display will shine. Pinch the haptic trackpad, and it’ll feel like you’re using an iPhone. We’ll need to test the A18 Pro processor to see if it can withstand the pressures of a hard benchmarking session, but that’s not really going to matter for its target market. Neither will the 8GB of RAM or 256GB of storage. This is a machine built to defy conventions, to make people think they’re using a thousand-dollar laptop when, in fact, they only spent a fraction of that. The MacBook Neo looks and feels like a premium laptop.Michael Simon / Foundry Down the rabbit hole For as long as I’ve been using and writing about iPhones and MacBooks, there’s been a notion that Apple users are foolishly paying a tax to a company that charges extra because it can. Even as its competitors made thousand-dollar smartphones and all-aluminum laptops that cost just as much, Apple has never been able to shake the reputation that its users are blindly overpaying for pretty devices that don’t measure up. The MacBook Neo doesn’t just dispel that notion, it upends the entire philosophy that Apple is a brand for foolish rich people who don’t know better. I’m writing this on an M3 Max MacBook Pro and my mind is still back at the MacBook Neo table. There’s no turning back. When I walked over to the MacBook Pro table at the Apple experience, I had my pick of machines because no one else was there. They had all taken the red pill.03:37 pmBetter App Store Connect

Following months of rumors about a lower-cost MacBook, Apple has delivered in a big way with the MacBook Neo, which starts at $599 in the United States. Even better, the MacBook Neo starts at just $499 through Apple's education store on its website, for eligible college students and educational staff. There is only one upgrade option available for the MacBook Neo. If you want a configuration with a Touch ID button and an expanded 512GB of storage, that costs $100 extra. This raises the price to $699 for the general public, and to $599 for college students. But, that is the most expensive the MacBook Neo gets on its own. With the MacBook Air's starting price rising from $999 to $1,099 with the introduction of new models with the M5 chip this week — albeit with a doubled 512GB of storage — the MacBook Neo is as much as $500 cheaper than the MacBook Air. And it could go on sale through resellers like Amazon for even less eventually. Here is an overview of the U.S. starting prices for MacBooks: 13-inch MacBook Neo: $599 13-inch MacBook Air: $1,099 15-inch MacBook Air: $1,299 14-inch MacBook Pro: $1,699 16-inch MacBook Pro: $2,699 MacBook Neo is available to pre-order now and launches on Wednesday, March 11.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:26 pmMacBook Neo Has Just 8GB RAM With No Upgrade Option
Apple made some compromises to sell a Mac notebook at $599, including cutting back on RAM. While all other Macs start at 16GB RAM, the MacBook Neo is equipped with 8GB RAM and no option to upgrade to more memory. With the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 Pro models and 8GB RAM, the MacBook Neo is able to run all Apple Intelligence features, but as AI gets more advanced and Apple adds new capabilities, there's a chance it could fall behind. 8GB RAM ensures the MacBook Neo is affordable, especially with the current memory shortages that are causing prices to soar. It's also the RAM in the iPhone 16 Pro. Apple's MacBook Air used to have an 8GB option, but in October 2024, Apple updated it to add 16GB RAM to the entry level machine. Since then, no Mac has shipped with less than 16GB. Though it only has 8GB RAM, the MacBook Neo is a powerful machine for everyday tasks like writing, web browsing, and schoolwork, and it's more than capable of light photo and video editing. Pricing on the MacBook Neo starts at $599, and it is available for pre-order.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:18 pmApple’s MacBook Neo is $599? Whoa.
Macworld Apple on Wednesday introduced the MacBook Neo, a new addition to the MacBook line. Priced at $599/£599, the MacBook Neo is the lowest-priced laptop that the company offers–it’s $500/£500 lower than the MacBook Air, following that device’s sort-of price rise yesterday. That’s a considerable difference. To get to such a low price point, the MacBook Neo features a number of compromises compared to its pricier brethren. This starts with its chip, an A18 Pro, which was previously used in the iPhone 16 Pro and has since been replaced by the A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Pro. The Neo’s A18 Pro has a 6-core CPU (2 performance and 4 efficiency cores), a 5-core GPU, and 8GB of unified memory–no memory upgrade options are available. This essentially feels like Apple took the A18 Pro straight from the iPhone and made no obvious adjustments for the MacBook Neo. The MacBook Neo comes standard with a 256GB SSD; for $699/£699, customers can get a 512GB SSD. No other storage options are available. The laptop has a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2408-by-1506 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and support for 1 billion colors. The display has an anti-reflective coating, but it does not have a notch like the MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro. The larger black bezel at the top of the display houses a 1080p FaceTime HD camera. The Magic Keyboard has pale keys, reminiscent of Apple’s iBook from the early 2000s, but their precise shade is designed to match the chassis. However, Touch ID is not included with the $599/£599 model. To get Touch ID, you’ll need to upgrade to the $699/£699 model that also has the 512GB SSD. The MacBook Neo has one USB-C 3 port and one USB-C 2 port; MagSafe is not included. The laptop supports one external display with a native resolution of up to 4K at 60Hz; it simultaneously supports the built-in display at full native resolution. There’s also a 3.5mm audio jack, but it does not support high-impedance headphones. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 6. For battery life, Apple estimates “up to 16 hours video streaming” and “up to 11 hours wireless web” for the 36.5‑watt‑hour battery. Apple includes a 20W USB-C Power Adapter and a 1.5-meter USB-C cable. The MacBook Neo measures 0.50 by 11.71 by 8.12 inches (1.27 by 29.75 by 20.64 cm) and weighs 2.7 pounds (1.23 kg). The colors available are blush, citrus, indigo, and silver. The MacBook Neo is available for pre-order now. Orders will start to arrive with customers on March 11, when the laptop will also be available in Apple Stores.03:17 pmApple has announced 7 new products this week

One port is a USB-C 3 port with support for data transfer speeds up to 10 Gb/s, while the other is a USB-C 2 port with support for data transfer speeds up to 480 Mb/s. Both support charging, but only the USB-C 3 port features DisplayPort, so users will need to make sure they are hooked up to the correct port when using an external display. There is no way to tell them apart externally. The limitation is likely related to the USB controller of the A18 Pro chip. There is also a headphone jack on the device, but there is no MagSafe charging capability or any other ports.
