The MacBook Neo is powered by Apple’s A18 Pro-series smartphone processor, offering sufficient performance for everyday digital tasks. It runs macOS and supports popular applications like Microsoft Word, Pages, and iMovie. With over 15 hours of battery life, users can enjoy extended usage without frequent charging.
In addition to two USB-C ports, the MacBook Neo features a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, Touch ID fingerprint scanner, dual side-firing speakers with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support, a Magic Keyboard, and a Multi-Touch trackpad. Available in Silver, Indigo, Blush, and Citrus colors, the laptop is now open for pre-orders and will hit stores next week.
John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, expressed excitement about the MacBook Neo, highlighting its affordability, durable design, high-quality display, Apple silicon performance, long battery life, and advanced features. He emphasized that the MacBook Neo is a unique product that embodies the essence of Apple’s innovation and user experience.
