Apple has quietly given their Mac Pro a performance boost by updating its specs while retaining its SRP. 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 mechanical trackpad on the Neo can pass off as a cheaper version of the Force Trackpad on the Air and Pro but if you're a longtime MacBook user, you will feel the difference. 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 using an iPhone 16 Pro, then it's the same Apple A18 Pro we're talking about.
