MacBook Neo disrupts Apple's laptop lineup.

The introduction of the MacBook Neo at $599 has created a significant challenge for Apple's existing laptop lineup, particularly the MacBook Air, which now appears overpriced at $1099. With a premium feel and features like a 500 nit display, the Neo offers a compelling alternative that may attract buyers who previously opted for the MacBook Air or the iPad Air setup, which is now less appealing due to its higher price and lower specifications.
