The $599 MacBook Neo is Apple's long-awaited, colorful, lower-cost MacBook

Apple's new $599 MacBook Neo replaces the M1 MacBook Air as the entry-level laptop. Available for pre-order now, it comes in four vibrant colors: silver, indigo, blush, and citrus. Launch date: March 11.

This lower-cost laptop features an A18 Pro processor, making it accessible for basic tasks but limiting for heavy applications. With 8GB of memory and a 13-inch display, it's designed for casual users, not professionals.
