Apple’s most affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo, is available once again at its pre-price hike price. All four colors are currently discounted and available refurbished through the company, with the base 256GB model listed for $599 (usually $699 new), and the upgraded version with 512GB of storage and TouchID selling for $679 (usually $799). The laptops have a one-year manufacturer warranty, with the option to purchase an extended AppleCare plan.
My colleague Antonio G. Di Benedetto reviewed the MacBook Neo, and was impressed with its performance given that it’s running on the A18 Pro – an iPhone 16 Pro processor. While power users might feel a bit limited by the 8GB of memory and relatively slow storage, the excellent screen, keyboard and speakers make this a great choice for people who primarily use browsers instead of system-intensive apps. It’s also a fantastic laptop for high school or college students.
