Budget-Friendly Mac
The MacBook Neo is Apple's play to bring macOS to a much wider audience. Priced hundreds below the MacBook Air, it aims to convert Windows and Chromebook users with an unbeatable combination of build quality, performance, and ecosystem integration.
iPhone-Class Silicon
By using proven A-series Pro chips instead of M-series silicon, Apple keeps costs down while still delivering strong performance for everyday tasks, web browsing, media consumption, and light creative work.
Fun Colours
Taking a leaf from the iMac and iPhone playbook, the MacBook Neo is expected in yellow, green, blue, pink, and silver — making it the most colourful MacBook since the original iBook.
Apple Intelligence Built In
Unlike many budget laptops, the MacBook Neo is expected to fully support Apple Intelligence features including Writing Tools, Image Playground, and on-device Siri enhancements.
