#apple mac osx

So Apple sent in a 13" Macbook Pro with the new Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) pre-installed so I can check out how the new OS upgrade performs. It was bound to happen but we're still very surprised that Apple made a budget Macbook. So, when Apple announced the Macbook Neo, it broke all expectations. We've seen some tell-tale signs in past years -- the iPhone SE, the iPhone 16e, iPhone 17e, Apple Watch SE and now, the MacBook Neo. So, let's break down the Neo and see where Apple focused and where it compromised to make a $599 MacBook that got everyone excited all over again. The MacBook Neo uses an Apple A18 Pro chip which comes with a 6-core CPU, a 5-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem (MacBook, iPhone, iPad), you will also love Handoff, Universal Clipboard, iPhone Mirroring and even as simple as syncing Notes across Apple devices. Conclusion The MacBook Neo is a masterful way for Apple to take a big chunk of the pie in the sub-$600 laptop market (or under the Php 40,000 price category, if we're talking Philippine settings).
