Apple has officially introduced the MacBook Neo, a new laptop designed to bring the Mac experience to more people at a lower price. It combines Apple’s clean design, long battery life, and modern features in a more affordable package compared to other MacBooks.
The MacBook Neo retains many of the features people love about Macs, a sleek aluminum body, a bright display, and smooth macOS performance while prioritizing everyday tasks such as browsing, schoolwork, video calls, and productivity.
A Simple and Colorful Apple Design
The MacBook Neo comes in a durable aluminum body and is available in four colors: Silver, Blush, Indigo, and Citrus. These colors also extend to the keyboard, giving the laptop a clean and modern look.
Despite its lower price, the build still feels very much like a Mac.

The aluminum enclosure also uses recycled materials, helping Apple reduce its environmental impact. It’s also designed to be easy to carry around, making it a good companion for school, work, or daily travel.
13-inch Liquid Retina Display
The MacBook Neo features a 13-inch Liquid Retina display that delivers sharp text, bright visuals, and vibrant colors. The screen supports 1 billion colors, making photos, videos, and websites look clear and detailed. Brightness reaches 500 nits, which helps when working in bright rooms or near windows. Whether you're watching videos, editing photos, or working on documents, the display offers a comfortable viewing experience.

Powered by the A18 Pro Chip
Instead of using the usual M-series chips found in other Macs, the MacBook Neo runs on the Apple A18 Pro chip, the same processor used in recent iPhones.
This chip includes:
6-core CPU
5-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine for AI tasks
Hardware-accelerated ray tracing
60GB/s memory bandwidth

For everyday tasks such as browsing, video calls, streaming, and office work, the A18 Pro delivers smooth and efficient performance. Apple also designed the chip to work well with AI features and modern apps.
Built for Apple Intelligence
MacBook Neo is designed to work with Apple Intelligence, Apple’s AI system built into macOS. This feature helps users write, summarize text, organize information, and complete tasks faster while keeping personal data private. Apple Intelligence is integrated directly into the system, so users can access smart features without installing extra tools.

All-Day Battery Life
Battery life is one of the highlights of the MacBook Neo. Apple says it can deliver up to 16 hours of battery life on a single charge. This makes it useful for students, remote workers, or anyone who needs a laptop that can last through a full day without needing to plug in.
