Apple on Wednesday unveiled a low-cost, entry-level laptop dubbed MacBook Neo , marking the first time the company has targeted a similar audience as Google did with its Chromebook. Starting at $599, the MacBook Neo is aimed at students or users whose work doesn’t involve intensive workflows like video editing or 3D rendering. The 13-inch MacBook Neo comes in four colors: silver, blush, citrus, and indigo. The base model comes with 256GB of storage, and an upgrade to the $699 model gets you 512GB of storage, plus Touch ID. Apple is seemingly able to offer the Neo at this price point because the laptop runs on the A18 Pro chip, which powers the iPhone 16 Pro models, rather than the more powerful, pricey M5 chip that the latest MacBook Air uses.
