The rumors were absolutely true about Apple launching an entry-level MacBook, and now we know its name, Neo.
The announcements keep coming, and today officially unveiled the MacBook Neo, which comes in different colors, to help it stand out from the more expensive MacBook Air and Pro models.
Beyond its colorful shell and lower price point, what truly sets the Neo apart from the other models is that it will be powered by an A18 Pro iPhone chip.
Apple says the A18 Pro iPhone chip will allow Neo users to do things like “browsing the web, creating documents, streaming content, editing photos, and taking advantage of AI.”
Finally The MacBook Pops Out
For those who didn’t know, Apple did offer colorful versions when it released the iMac G3 years ago, before completely abusing the “space gray” finish. With the Neo, the company that Jobs built is once again showing that it can be a fun company, not just add a splash of color to the iPhone.
The Neo comes in three colors, blush, indigo, silver, and citrus, in an aluminum design that Apple says is “built to last.” The colors also extend to the Magic Keyboard, and users can also look forward to new wallpapers.
The Neo is also light, weighing 2.7 pounds, making it easy to carry around.
The MacBook Neo’s Display & Other Features
As for the display, the Neo features a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with 2408-by-1506 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and support for 1 billion colors, bringing to life sharp, crystal-clear text and vibrant images.
Other features of the Neo include two USB-C slots and a headphone jack on the left side, and two slim speakers on both sides of the device. The USB3 port closer to the hinge is specifically for connections to a monitor.
The Neo has a multi-touch trackpad, 1080p FaceTime HD camera, dual speakers and mics, and Apple claims it has all-day battery life.
As for the price, the Neo has two options: a $599 model featuring 256GB of storage, and a $699 model with 512GB of storage.
Students can get their hands on one for $499 using their discount.
