MacBook Neo
The MacBook Neo is basically Apple asking: what if we made a generally premium Chromebook, but with macOS and a chip that feels fast where it counts. You get a full aluminum body, a surprisingly good display for the price, a 1080p webcam, solid speakers, and all-day battery—just understand the limitations like 8GB RAM, weaker multi-core, and no Thunderbolt.
Pros
- +Premium aluminum build that doesn’t feel like a $500 laptop
- +Very snappy single-core performance for everyday use
- +Good IPS display with over 500 nits brightness
- +1080p webcam and solid speakers
- +All-day battery life and full performance on battery
Cons
- -8GB RAM is a hard limit by design
- -No Thunderbolt; USB-C ports are limited (USB 3 + USB 2.0)
- -No MagSafe, so charging uses up a port
- -Not suitable for sustained heavy workloads or serious video editing
- -No keyboard backlighting
