#MacBook Neo specs

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. One of the very first thing you will notice on the MacBook Neo is the absence of the Notch Display. The MacBook Neo supports an external display but you're limited to only a single 4K display on this one, a far cry from the dual 5K monitors that the MacBook Air can support. 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. Based on our practical day-to-day use of the MacBook Neo and the synthetic benchmarks we ran with it, the A18 Pro chip is very comparable to an M1 chip but with striking advantage on power efficiency.
