Apple just released a $599 MacBook. 🤯 Meet the MacBook Neo: a 13-inch laptop powered by the iPhone’s A18 Pro chip.
We’re breaking down the @MarquesBrownlee first look at the brand-new MacBook Neo (2026). Is this the spiritual successor to the legendary 12-inch MacBook? Powered by a bin-version of the A18 Pro silicon, this fanless aluminum laptop is designed for students, classrooms, and anyone who just needs a “Safari-book.” But with only 8GB of RAM and no MagSafe, is the $599 price tag actually a good deal in 2026? 📉
The Price: $599 retail, or $499 for students. The cheapest Mac laptop ever. 🎓
The Chip: Can an iPhone chip really run macOS? We look at the 5-core GPU A18 Pro performance.
The Design: No notch, 500 nits brightness, and four new colors: Indigo, Blush, Citrus, and Silver. 🎨
The Compromise: Mechanical trackpad (non-haptic), USB-C charging only, and no Touch ID on the base model.
