Don’t worry, Apple isn’t going all practical

Macworld

They did it! Yes, last week Apple announced the much-rumored “cheap laptop”, the MacBook Neo. Coming in a variety of almost actual colors, the Neo ships with an A18 Pro processor and starts at just $599, the lowest price ever for a Mac laptop not sold out of the trunk of someone’s car.

And even better? It’s not a piece of junk. Initial benchmarks indicate the Neo bests the M3-based iPad Air in single-core operations, which are pretty much the kind of operations the target market for this device will be doing.
