The $599 MacBook Neo is Apple's long-awaited, colorful, lower-cost MacBook
Summary
Ars Technica reports Apple's new $599 MacBook Neo, a low-cost entry-level MacBook intended to replace the 13-inch MacBook Air. It uses an A18 Pro chip, 8GB RAM, and 5 GPU cores, with USB-C ports, no MagSafe, and up to 16 hours of battery life, signaling notable trade-offs for price-conscious SMB buyers. This has implications for IT procurement and business workflows when evaluating cost-effective hardware options.
