El Apple MacBook Neo 256 GB es un MacBook de 13 pulgadas orientado al presupuesto que combina un chasis de aluminio sin ventilador con el procesador A18 Pro de Apple. Con 8 GB de memoria LPDDR5 a bordo y una unidad SSD de 256 GB, se dirige a estudiantes y compradores de valor que quieren macOS a un precio más bajo. La pantalla IPS de 2408 x 1506 es nítida pero está limitada a 60 Hz y utiliza un acabado brillante. La conectividad incluye USB-C con entrega de potencia y soporte DisplayPort, además de Wi-Fi 6E y Bluetooth 6, pero la selección general de puertos está recortada. Las reseñas lo sitúan en torno a los 80 puntos, describiéndolo como sorprendentemente capaz por su precio frente a los típicos rivales de Windows y Chromebook. Los principales compromisos citados repetidamente son la memoria fija de 8 GB y otras omisiones como la reducción de puertos y la falta de retroiluminación del teclado.

Origen: Profesional Review Español
Terminamos el análisis de la nueva joyita de Apple, una apuesta priorizando la eficiencia y portabilidad para un público desenfadado que necesita un equipo de trabajo para el día a día a un precio ajustado. Su pantalla 2.5K sobresale en calidad y sobre todo calibración, apostando de nuevo por una Liquid Retina de 60 Hz superior a los rivales con Windows de precio similar. Es una pantalla apta para creadores de contenido, aunque su cobertura de color no sea muy amplia.Esto se une a un gran apartado sonoro, potente y de calidad, aquí Apple es una garantía. Los periféricos también están a un gran nivel, con un buen teclado ISO, aunque sin retroiluminación, touchpad preciso, aunque solo la versión de 512GB trae Touch ID.El otro punto fuerte radica en su diseño; elegante, minimalista, y, sobre todo, de gran calidad de fabricación al utilizar aluminio para todo el chasis, con elementos unibody como la tapa de pantalla y base de teclado, en varios colores.El hardware es heredado de la serie de smartphone al ser un A18 Pro, con excelente eficiencia dada su compacta batería, obteniendo más de 16h en modo ahorro, o más de 3h jugando a Cyberpunk 2077. Destaca en eficiencia y en single-core, aunque en el rango de precio los equipos con Windows también suelen tener una CPU inferior.

80% Apple MacBook Neo, análisis: puede que tenga un chip de iPhone, pero rinde como un Mac de verdad. Porque es un Mac de verdad
Origen: Xataka Español
Soñábamos desde hace mucho con un MacBook más asequible, y por fin lo tenemos disponible. Aquí Apple no solo ha cumplido con las expectativas, sino que las ha superado, porque estamos ante un equipo que es realmente barato para los estándares de la compañía y que aun así rinde de forma sorprendente. En este rango de precio —sobre todo si apostamos por la versión con Touch ID, que cuesta 799 euros— es desde luego encontrar portátiles con Windows muy competitivos y que seguramente en muchos casos cuenten con 16 GB de RAM. Sin embargo la propuesta de Apple es realmente equilibrada, y las garantías que siempre ofrece la compañía en esa "simbiosis" entre el hardware y el software vuelve aquí a cumplirse. Así, estamos ante un equipo muy recomendable para el gran público, que en la mayoría de los casos podrá hacer todo lo que hace con un portátil sin problemas (y alguna cosa más). Aunque no es ni mucho menos perfecto y tiene algunos hándicaps importantes (conectividad, teclado no retroiluminado), hemos quedado gratamente sorprendidos por una propuesta que acerca más que nunca el MacBook al público masivo.

88% El MacBook Neo es una revolución: Apple ha creado el portátil de masas más premium que jamás he visto
Origen: Computerhoy Español
El Apple MAcBook Neo es un ordenador perfecto para estudiantes y personas que quieran adentrarse en MacOS por primera vez. Si hay un dispositivo que llamó la atención la primera semana de marzo ese fue el MacBook Neo. ¿Un portátil de Apple por 699 euros? Parecía ciencia ficción, pero ya es una realidad.La compañía parece haber escuchado las peticiones de sus usuarios para el desarrollo de un ordenador barato con especificaciones más modestas y que, de esa forma, cualquier usuario que lo deseara pudiera acceder a MacOS.Dicho y hecho: eso es el MacBook Neo. Una de las peculiaridades de este equipo es que monta el mismo procesador que el iPhone 16 Pro y 16 Pro Max, la generación que se presentó en septiembre de 2024. Por eso, la pregunta que todo el mundo se hace es: ¿de verdad el A18 Pro, un procesador pensado para un móvil de gama alta, será capaz de "aguantar" todo tipo de tareas? La respuesta rápida es "no". Pero tiene sentido: un portátil de 699 euros -se queda en 599 si eres estudiante- no te va a ofrecer las mismas capacidades que las de un portátil como el MacBook Pro (y eso está bien, ya que no es el objetivo).

El MacBook Neo no viene a sustituir al Air ni al Pro. Es un Mac con un propósito muy concreto y diferente.

No es el Mac más ambicioso. Es el Mac más accesible.

100% He probado el MacBook Neo del que todo el mundo habla y no tengo dudas: es todo un golpe sobre la mesa
Origen: Hipertextual Español
Con el MacBook Neo me sucede exactamente lo mismo que con el MacBook Pro con chip M5 Pro. Es imposible no recomendarlo. Ningún equipo de este rango de precios ofrece tal combinación de estética, conveniencia, rendimiento y básicos de calidad. Sí, puedes encontrar equipos con chips más potentes, pero probablemente tengan una pantalla terrible, un trackpad del siglo pasado o una autonomía insuficiente para una jornada de trabajo estándar. El valor del MacBook Neo, como en casi todo lo que hace Apple, reside en el conjunto. Y si además lo aderezas con la excelente integración con el ecosistema de la marca, un precio llamativo y una estética cool, el resultado es un auténtico superventas.

85% Apple MacBook Neo review: accessible, yet aspirational
Origen: 91mobiles Inglés EN→ES
If you’re a student or a working professional looking to buy a laptop for basic, everyday tasks, buy it with your eyes closed. (Okay, maybe you can open your eyes to choose the colour). If you’re a content creator or someone who dabbles with image and video editing, you can buy it with one eye closed. (Use the other eye to consider alternatives that might suit your specific use case better). And if you’re a power user or need a powerful machine for gaming or heavy work, there are other fish in the ocean. Speaking of, similarly-priced options on the Windows side of the fence include the likes of the ASUS Vivobook S16, the Motorola MotoBook 60 and the Acer Swift Neo, with all of them offering OLED displays, 16 gigs of RAM and 512GB storage. The Neo’s IPS display, however, is so good that it can almost match those OLED screens in terms of visuals. The Neo also beats those rivals in Geekbench single-thread performance, not to mention the solid battery life and ecosystem benefits it can offer. At the end of the day, the MacBook Neo is solid value for money, delivers the core MacBook experience without breaking the bank, and makes a very strong case for itself as a laptop worth considering not just by students, but anyone who covets a reliable computing device for everyday use. A low-hanging Apple, if you will.

The Macbook Neo Is More Than A Chromebook Alternative, And You Know It
Origen: Slashgear Inglés EN→ES
For many, the MacBook Neo will be their first experience with macOS, and it's clear Apple wanted to make the best introduction possible — without breaking the bank. At $599 for the 256 GB model and $699 for the 512 GB model with Touch ID (including on Amazon), you'll be hard-pressed to find a competing laptop that brings so much to the table, particularly when you factor in Apple's overall tightly integrated ecosystem and the seamless experience it offers across devices. If you already own an iPhone but still use Windows, now is the time to switch to Mac — and if you don't own an iPhone, you'll be tempted to get one after experiencing the Neo. With that said, the Neo is still a budget laptop — arguably the best one out there, yes, but a budget offering nonetheless. If you're a professional content creator, designer, or anyone else who regularly performs demanding tasks using resource-intensive software, your laptop hunt should start at the base MacBook Air model and move upward from there. For everyone else, however, the Neo is the MacBook that should get your attention.

90% Apple MacBook Neo vs. Apple iPad: Why I Regret My $600 Tablet Upgrade
Origen: PC Mag Inglés EN→ES
Here’s a scenario that might be familiar: I can use all the major operating systems at a relatively deep level, but I’ve preferred Macs for a long time. However, I also fall beneath Apple’s target financial demographic—I don't regularly buy $1,000-plus laptops—so I have resorted to slumming it with a basic iPad and a keyboard cover to emulate an Apple computing experience. I’ve done this for the past several years, even growing to enjoy it, compared with how it feels to use most budget laptops. I’ve even completed paid writing work using this method, showing just how capable this solution has been for me. But the new MacBook Neo just upended my Apple cart. I expected an iPad price hike given 2026's soaring memory costs. And I doubted the rumors leading up to the MacBook Neo's release.

90% MacBook Neo is Apple's most affordable laptop, but is it worth buying?
Origen: Mezha EN Inglés EN→ES
Looking at the MacBook Neo, you need to clearly understand that this is not a universal Mac for everyone. Given the processor from a smartphone, the laptop is limited to simple work and is definitely not designed for users who work seriously with media or large amounts of data. And to form a low price, several functions and features familiar to modern Macs are simply not here. However, the model is perfect for light basic work and study, and with such a level of portability. And it seems that the MacBook Neo has become Apple's broader strategy for attracting new users. With the expectation that when a hypothetical student chooses the next laptop after the Neo, he will no longer agree to anything else, and will choose a more expensive MacBook. Whether such a strategy will work, we will see over time.

80% Apple MacBook Neo review: It's all relative!
Origen: Gadgetbyte Nepal Inglés EN→ES
So let me wrap it all up now. And based on everything I’ve discussed throughout this review, one thing is crystal clear: the MacBook Neo is a fantastic little laptop. Especially to those who don’t do a lot on their computer besides web browsing and stuff. I know it has its fair share of problems, like being limited to just 8GB of memory, no backlit keyboard, no Touch ID for the base model, and slow charging speed… but for the Western market, the MacBook Neo is a great way to enter the Apple ecosystem. Especially if you manage to grab it for just $499 with the student discount. Which, let’s be honest, seems to be Apple’s main goal with the Neo. You buy a cheap MacBook… see how much better it is than what Windows laptops were offering… so you’re tempted to try out other fruits in Apple’s basket one. by. one. But here in Nepal, where Apple's student discount program is nonexistent, that’s where it gets a little complicated for this guy. Or not because the M2 Air that avoids every. single. issue I have with the MacBook Neo, is available for around NPR 125,000 these days. Making it a much better value! And if you do more than the “basic” stuff, like programming, photo/video editing, or music production, the M2 chip’s superior multi-core performance and a spacious 16GB of memory are gonna be so much more useful than whatever else the MacBook Neo is offering. Trust me on this.

90% Apple’s new Rs 69,900 MacBook Neo is here: Why Windows users might finally switch
Origen: The Indian Express Inglés EN→ES
At a starting price of ₹69,900, the MacBook Neo is going to make life very difficult for Windows devices, despite its tradeoffs of the mobile processor, thicker bezel, lesser memory. The Windows price advantage — the one thing that kept many potential users away from Macs — is going away to a large extent with this more affordable Apple device which always has more aspirational value that a budget device running the Microsoft OS. And the MacBook Neo does not cut corners for this segment of users, which is something they will appreciate. I recommend this device for younger users who need convenience and functionality without any compromises on style. This is going to be the first Mac for a lot of people across the world.

最后给大家抄作业,选购直接看这两点,闭眼不踩雷。第一点看价格线。最低配 8+256,3500块以内有需求可以冲,超过这个价性价比就不太行了,真就很想买馋疯了,找老牛3800都能勉强考虑,再贵完全没必要。如果说你之前有考虑买一个二手 m1 8+256 作为长续航打字机的,那么直接上 neo 就好了。第二点看性能诉求。避雷人群:理工大学生、有重度性能需求、做渲染剪大片的,直接绕路。还有就是国内大学学习环境大多适配 Windows,MacOS 水土不服,软件兼容、课程操作都麻烦,同价位不如选机械革命无界14X、联想来酷Pro14这类 Win 轻薄本,或者淘个二手游戏本,实用性强太多。MacBook Neo 就是精准定位的入门真香机,就是适合下面三类人群,它就是四千以下无敌的存在;需求不对,它就是啥也干不了的鸡肋。它几乎是明牌,就是为了给年轻人和中学生推广 MacOS,如果你用的不够爽,你就会加钱买 Air,Air 用得不爽可能就会去加钱买 Pro,Pro 用得还不爽,这时候再想换 Windows 可能就各种不太习惯了。对了,买 Neo 记得买多个拓展坞,方便外接。如果你问我会不会买,就这机器就是那 iPhone17e 的风味。如果真的有长辈或者小孩,有需求简单上上网,那他 Windows 电脑如果不会用,我又不在身边,他又喜欢用某个国产搜索引擎下载东西,我相信很快他就会装上某某壁纸,喜欢用山东大师监控cpu温度,用720/2安全卫士杀毒,再装点别的软件,过阵子右下角就会弹出我系渣渣灰,系兄弟就来看我的页游广告. 本身没性能的需求,给搞个 MacBook Neo,图个安逸,图个清净。最后,再次特别感谢知乎数码和知乎答主评审团借测这台 8+512 高配版,才能给大家出最真实的测评体验分享。你们会不会冲这台三千多的 Mac ?觉得它值不值?评论区聊一聊,如果觉得这篇测评分享有用的话,记得点赞关注不迷路!这里是略懂一点数码的维生素P,我们下期再见。

80% Apple MacBook Neo review: can Apple's cheapest laptop be a good buy for photographers?
Origen: Digital Camera World Inglés EN→ES
When the MacBook Neo was announced, the idea of a laptop that ran on the processor from an iPhone seemed almost ridiculous. However, time spent with the machine shows that it works, and it works well. There are things that could be better - that 8GB unified RAM pool is going to look tiny to many users, especially those who demand more than that just for their graphics cards, but the Neo isn’t a laptop made for gamers or 8K video editors. For browsing, office tasks and most image editing it does just fine, the lack of ports and internal storage a bigger issue. What you get is a nicely built Mac for a lot less than the next model up, and that means the Neo has real value.

90% I reviewed the MacBook Neo – it’ll change cheap laptops forever
Origen: Trusted Reviews Inglés EN→ES
The MacBook Neo is a near-universal success. I didn’t think Apple could pull it off, but this laptop is easily the best budget option you can buy, and I am sure it is going to scare of a lot of Windows and Chromebooks manufacturers. Yes, of course, you can get cheaper – but you can’t get anything this fast, this long-lasting and this nice to look at for the price. For a company with a reputation for releasing expensive tech, the fact that Apple has done such a good job with the Neo should be commended. Sacrifices have been made, and for a lot of people, the MacBook Air M5 will still be a better buy. That machine has a backlit keyboard, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, a more colour accurate screen, a more capable M5 chip and faster ports. But it’s £500/$500 more, and that’s a lot of money when the Neo is so good.

83% Apple MacBook Neo review – Something Neo under the sun
Origen: Stuff Magazine Inglés EN→ES
Apple’s MacBook Neo punches well above its price range, though it’s possible to get more punch (via more RAM) from a Windows laptop at this price point. But it won’t be the Neo, and it won’t feature the same build and attention to detail across the whole package. That’s… sort of the point. Few laptops can match Apple’s design in the R12,000 price bracket. Even fewer will run an operating system with a mobile chipset and 8GB of RAM quite as well as the Neo does. In terms of performance, it’s very close to Apple’s MacBook Air (M1), with some slight concessions to come in lower than that departed notebook’s final price point. It’s a MacBook for regular folks, really. Even if the Fruit Company’s idea of ‘budget’ is still somewhat higher than a regular person’s budget.

A Mac for just under $600/£600? We’ve been here before, with underpowered models that didn’t satisfy creative needs. The Neo is a much better prospect, though it’s still not the machine for grinding through video encoding or rendering tasks. It excels at being small, nippy, and lasting just about long enough to get everything done. It’s stripped back compared to some of the laptops we’ve tested, but it has enough power to be useful, and comes in a lovely range of colours.

80% MacBook Neo review: Apple nails the basics at a low price
Origen: XDA Developers Inglés EN→ES
What you're getting with the MacBook Neo is essentially a six-year-old smartphone CPU in a sleek-looking laptop body. Does that mean it won't get the job done in 2026? Not at all, but whether it's the right laptop for you depends on what you plan to do with the MacBook Neo, as well as if you fall into Apple's narrow definition of an average user. Do you spend most of your time in Safari and also use apps like Photos to edit images? Are you a student mainly writing essays? Maybe you subscribe to Apple's Creator Studio bundle, which includes apps like Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and more, all creative apps that are optimized to run smoothly on the entry-level laptop. If that sounds like you, the MacBook Neo is a premium-feeling laptop with enough power for basic tasks that you've been waiting for. If it doesn't, you're likely better off with the far more capable MacBook Air if you're a Mac user. However, it's important to be aware of the corners Apple has cut with the MacBook Neo, including a slow SSD, a USB-C 2 port, and of course, a measly 8GB of RAM. I can't help but feel that the inevitable A19 Pro-powered MacBook Neo will feature 16GB of RAM, making it a far more capable laptop than this first-run device.

Apple MacBook Neo review: A gift for Apple fans
Origen: Digit.in Inglés EN→ES
Now, coming to the question that might be on your mind: should you go ahead and spend Rs 69,900 on Apple’s latest MacBook? The answer depends on what you actually need from your laptop. The MacBook Neo delivers the core Mac experience at a price point that is new for Apple. Thus, it is the best way to experience macOS if you aren’t willing to spend around Rs 1 lakh on a new device. The laptop also boasts a relatively strong day to day performance, excellent battery life, reliable display, and a design that lives up to Apple’s reputation. With that being said, there are also certain compromises that include the non-backlit keyboard, absence of touch ID in the base variant and only having an 8 GB RAM option, raising a question in terms of future-proofing. However, for students, first-time Mac users, or anyone looking for a reliable laptop in this budget, the Neo makes a very solid case for itself. It gets the essentials right and comes with Apple’s reliability. And for some people, that’s enough.

After heavy use, including writing notes, editing photos and endless web browsing, the MacBook Neo delivers incredible value. It offers all the benefits of the full Mac ecosystem, including a long-lasting battery and a premium build, all at a fraction of the cost of the MacBook Air. While it may not replace the Air for everyone (especially those needing more RAM, better ports, or sustained heavy performance), it is a great option for students or entry-level creators. Overall, I would enthusiastically recommend it, keeping in mind its limitations.

The MacBook Neo challenges the assumptions that often define it. Its performance extends beyond expectations for an 8GB configuration, and its battery life supports sustained daily use. At the same time, it retains limitations in memory scalability, port selection, display technology, and input features. Yet, starting at Rs 69,990, it enters the mainstream, and how! The device does not attempt to redefine the category but operates within its constraints while delivering consistent performance. For users who align with its capabilities and limitations, it offers a balanced computing experience.

90% Apple MacBook Neo review: This could be the most important laptop of 2026
Origen: Hardware Zone Inglés EN→ES
If it isn’t clear by now, the MacBook Neo offers excellent value for money. If you want to spend less than S$1,000 on a new laptop, I don’t see why you would buy anything other than a Neo. This will run rings around most Windows laptops in the same price bracket. It’s certainly built better than all of them. The main competition for the Neo is really a used MacBook Air, specifically one that has an M3 or M2 chip. Those are going for about the same money as a brand-new Neo, and you can find refurbished units on the Apple Online Store. If it were me, I would pick a used M2 or M3 MacBook Air over a Neo, but only if it came with 16GB of memory and a warranty.

MacBook Neo - A Windows User's Review
Origen: Hardware Canucks Inglés
Popular opinion says the MacBook Neo is the best budget laptop for 2026 and there's so much that's actually in its favor. From battery life, to multi tasking (yup, you read that right!) and its build quality. But will all of that be enough for a Windows user to give the MacBook Neo a passing grade after buying it with his own money?

Apple MacBook Neo Review
Origen: IGN Inglés EN→ES
The MacBook Neo is, without a doubt, the best budget laptop you can buy today. It’s sleek, more powerful and capable than it should be at its price point, and has enough battery life for a full workday. It can even game. If you can get past being stuck with 8GB of RAM, it’s easily the best computer you can buy for less than $600.

Apple products aren’t something we usually cover here at KitGuru, but when the MacBook Neo was announced as the cheapest MacBook ever, it certainly caught my eye. As a lifelong PC user and enthusiast, I was particularly curious to know exactly how a budget laptop running a mobile processor with just 8GB of RAM would perform – but if, like me, you’re expecting it to be underwhelming – I think you might be in for a bit of a surprise…

The most disruptive product Apple has released since the iPhone, but it might not be disruptive to Windows machines, as there's too much choice within that bracket. It might, however, make a sizable dent in the Chromebook market. In the next couple of years, you may go to IT for a temporary machine, or an entry-level one, depending on your role, and you'll likely see that old cupboard of unwanted Chromebooks replaced by Neos.

100% Apple MacBook Neo review: The best budget laptop money can buy
Origen: Expert Reviews Inglés EN→ES
All of which brings me to my verdict, which I must admit is proving trickier than I had first envisaged. Looking at the specifications, the build and the price, I thought it would be a slam-dunk recommendation for the MacBook Neo, especially for students, who only pay £499. There’s no backlight for the keyboard, physical connectivity is limited, battery life isn’t as good as the MacBook Airs of old and that 8GB of RAM will limit multitasking performance, particularly once you fill up the SSD. These are all things that should be acknowledged. If you’re a student on a budget – or anyone else looking for a compact laptop for day to day use, for that matter – the MacBook Neo is ideal and, quite possibly, the perfect laptop. It’s a no-brainer of a recommendation and, despite its few flaws, one of Apple’s greatest products to date.

100% MacBook Neo review: Mac enough for most people
Origen: T3 Inglés EN→ES
Most assumed that a MacBook that ran on an iPhone chip would require some serious compromise. However, the MacBook Neo has proved that this is not the case. The A18 Pro chip is not only capable of lightning fast operation for the iPhone 16 Pro / Pro Max, but it handles a full version of Mac OS Tahoe too. Yes, some compromises have been made to hit this price point and perhaps to differentiate it from the MacBook Air. The lack of backlight on the keyboard, the sRGB screen, the non-thunderbolt ports, and the older style 12MP webcam. However, even with these compromises, the Neo is a great machine to use. It would have been lovely to have a bit more customisation available, to increase the SSD capacity and maybe add some more memory – though that is potentially limited by the A18 Pro chip. It also seems a little bit tight to only offer the Touch ID with the 512GB capacity model, as it’s a genuinely useful feature and one that can impact security. Overall though, the MacBook Neo is surprisingly good. I would genuinely recommend this machine to any Apple fans looking for a new laptop. For those creators looking for a workhorse, it doesn’t replace the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, but for everyone else, it’s more than enough to handle all your tasks.

Apple's MacBook Neo may be the biggest threat to Windows in years
Origen: XDA Developers Inglés EN→ES
The thing is, even if you were shopping for more expensive laptops before, there's definitely a large portion of the audience that sticks with Windows because that's what they know. Throughout my school years, I was never able to afford a MacBook of any kind, so when it came time to start making bigger purchases, I was always more drawn to Windows laptops than MacBooks. macOS always looked too strange and unfamiliar to use, and I worried the things I wanted to do wouldn't be possible. But the MacBook Neo has the potential to change a lot of people's entry points into the world of computing because of its affordable price. If you're a kid in middle school or high school and you get a MacBook Neo, that's your standard for using a computer now, so in the future, when you're buying a laptop, the MacBook Air or Pro will probably be much higher on your list of options because you already know what it's all about.

Apple MacBook Neo Review
Origen: Mobile Tech Review Inglés
Shocker: Apple has made a budget laptop! And it’s darned good for the money. The MacBook Neo is a 13” aluminum clad MacOS laptop with 2 storage options, optional Touch ID, the usual very good Apple keyboard and trackpad experience and your choice of 4 colors. It beats most Windows laptops and Chromebooks in this price range, though unsurprisingly falls well short of the more expensive MacBook Air M5 for features and speed. It starts at $599 (take $100 off with educational discount).

80% The MacBook Neo is the fantastic new Mac for the masses [Review]
Origen: Cult of Mac Inglés EN→ES
The MacBook Neo utterly shatters the argument that if you want to do real work, you need to get a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Because the fact is, this computer will be used by teenagers and young adults who will discover their life-long creative outlets. I was there once, spending $550 on a 4-year-old MacBook Pro on eBay. Today, that gets you a brand-new Mac. Slightly compromised, sure, but so was my early 2008 MacBook Pro. Priced at just $599 for the base 256GB model or $699 for the 512GB model with Touch ID, the MacBook Neo ends the idea that a cheap computer is a slow computer. “Not slow” doesn’t do it justice — it’s incredibly fast and capable. A lot of people will fall in love with the Mac on a MacBook Neo.

90% Apple MacBook Neo review: This could be the most important laptop of 2026
Origen: Hardware Zone Inglés EN→ES
If it isn’t clear by now, the MacBook Neo offers excellent value for money. If you want to spend less than S$1,000 on a new laptop, I don’t see why you would buy anything other than a Neo. This will run rings around most Windows laptops in the same price bracket. It’s certainly built better than all of them. The main competition for the Neo is really a used MacBook Air, specifically one that has an M3 or M2 chip. Those are going for about the same money as a brand-new Neo, and you can find refurbished units on the Apple Online Store. If it were me, I would pick a used M2 or M3 MacBook Air over a Neo, but only if it came with 16GB of memory and a warranty. My only reservation about the Neo is its longevity.

90% I tested the Apple MacBook Neo and it's the best budget laptop ever
Origen: Tom's Guide Inglés EN→ES
The MacBook Neo is a milestone not just for MacBooks but for all laptops, especially at a time that other laptop makers are raising their prices and everyone is feeling the pinch from a shaky economy. Apple has built a machine from the ground up for $599 / AU$849 that runs circles around the competition, and it will force the likes of Lenovo, HP and Dell to scramble to catch up. This system ticks all the right boxes for its low price, with a premium aluminum design, a rich and bright display you’d normally find on $1,000 laptops and good-enough performance from its A18 Pro chip. I also like the side-mounted speakers, as well as the comfy keyboard and smooth touchpad. And the more than 13 hours of battery life is very impressive at this price. However, the MacBook Neo does make some trade-offs. I wish Touch ID was standard, and the lack of Thunderbolt and a keyboard backlight is a bummer. And you should not expect to do video editing on this machine with any speed, nor should you expect the zippiest performance when you have a ton of apps open or with Apple Intelligence tasks. But for $599 / AU$899, you would be hard pressed to find a laptop that even comes close to the MacBook Neo’s value. It’s arguably the best value laptop ever and raises the bar for the entire industry.

90% Apple MacBook Neo Review: Blowing Up the Budget Laptop Market
Origen: PC Mag Inglés EN→ES
Given 2026's soaring memory prices, on top of general inflation and an unpredictable tariff regime, Apple pulled off what I thought wasn't possible. The MacBook Neo is poised to set the budget-laptop world on fire as a $599 system that's better-built and sharper than anything else at or below its price. Until the PC competition somehow responds, the MacBook Neo will easily be among the top budget laptops to buy or even save up toward for everyone, from older students and Apple neophytes to simply budget-strapped Mac fans. Plus, if you've owned an iPhone for years but could never afford a MacBook, Apple just extended a beautiful aluminum olive branch. The Neo even works directly with your iPhone, for everything from Messages continuity to full-on device mirroring. Regardless, why spend $400 on an even more restricted Chromebook or a slower Windows laptop when, if you can scrounge up another $200 over time, you can get a much more powerful, reliable, and long-lasting laptop? (Budget PC laptops in the same price range or a little higher also need to watch their six.)

Origen: XDA Developers Inglés EN→ES
The launch of the $599 MacBook Neo feels like the moment the ‘iPad-as-a-computer’ experiment is officially over. For years, Apple heavily advertised the ‘What’s a computer?’ campaign and insisted that a slab of glass, a Magic Keyboard, and a Pencil were all you needed to get work done. But with the Neo, Apple has quietly waved the white flag. By offering a full-fledged macOS experience at a price point that undercuts even a mid-tier iPad Pro setup, they have finally admitted that a professional workflow requires a file-based desktop OS, not a mobile-first environment with a keyboard slapped on.

When I first saw the MacBook Neo up close, I quickly thought to myself that I’d found my dad’s next laptop. He’s my last remaining relative sticking with midrange laptops, and they tend not to stick around for that long. I hope that Apple releases a larger MacBook Neo by the time his current machine kicks the bucket, because with this colorful, sharp display and long battery life, mixed with performance that outdoes anything he’s ever owned (aside from his current phone), he’s going to love it. But for everyone who is looking for a great 13-inch laptop that doesn’t make you think as hard about your budget or financing options, the MacBook Neo is the one for you.

Apple MacBook Neo review: Can a Mac get by with an iPhone’s processor inside?
Origen: Ars Technica Inglés EN→ES
Here is what the MacBook Neo is not: It is not a replacement for a MacBook Air. Even compared to the old M1 version, the Neo makes several compromises in ports, keyboard and trackpad features, screen quality, and performance that collectively mean that the number of people with an Apple Silicon MacBook who should “upgrade” to a new Neo is effectively zero. The MacBook Air is far from Apple’s fastest laptop, but the thing that has always felt good about the M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 is that—especially when paired with 16GB or more of RAM—there’s very little that won’t run on one of those chips.

Origen: BGR Inglés EN→ES
Unsurprisingly, the MacBook Neo is a killer deal at this price point. It may not be as powerful as Apple's other laptops, and Apple has made some obvious compromises to get to the lower price, but it's still easily better than any Windows laptop I can think of at $599. I would recommend upgrading to the $699 model for the increased storage and Touch ID, if you can afford it. Touch ID alone makes a big difference when you're constantly signing into apps or unlocking your laptop. And while I wish it wasn't locked behind a $100 upgrade, it's still very helpful to have. You do have to be comfortable with some compromises, though. 8GB of RAM isn't all that much, and the older ports mean that your connectivity options might be limited. That said, if you're a student or someone looking for a casual laptop to use for productivity, web-based tasks, and other light tasks, the MacBook Neo is easily the laptop to buy.

The MacBook Neo does everything it sets out to do. It’s the lowest-priced MacBook Apple sells, and it has specs and capabilities to match. But like every Apple product, if you want to push it a little bit further, you might be surprised by what it can do. It isn’t a MacBook Air, though. And it certainly isn’t a MacBook Pro. I can’t tell you which of the three MacBooks is right for you, but at least you have more choice now. And, yes, if you open yourself up to the second-hand and refurbished market, that choice expands considerably. This isn’t where my coverage of the MacBook Neo ends. I need to compare it fully against the MacBook Air, and, judging by those YouTube comments, the M4 iPad Air, too. I’ll also be using it as my main laptop for the foreseeable future, so expect plenty of check-ins over the coming months.

Without question, I would have purchased a MacBook Neo instead of a more expensive MacBook Air for each of my kids had it been an option a few years ago when they were in high school. (I've since had to buy my daughter a second Air in college after her first Air died, which makes the Neo an even better bargain when you factor in the chance of needing to buy a replacement.) My kids are generally gender-conforming, so I could see my daughter picking the blush model and my son going for indigo, while I sat back, hoping that one of them would choose citrus, my favorite color among the Neo's four choices. The MacBook Neo is easily the best laptop for school use, especially if you or the student you're buying for already has an iPhone. The two work seamlessly together.

Let’s say this first: Apple’s budget laptop is absolutely cracking value for money. You get a truly capable PC for the money that brings Apple’s usual quality to the fore. A lot of Windows vendors will be perplexed at how this has been achieved. And that’s a good thing, because we’ll see better Windows laptops as a result. There are doubtless compromises. Battery life is still very good at around 8–10 hours but I didn’t get anywhere near Apple’s claim of 16 hours. The display is great but you need to have the brightness whacked up. The USB ports aren’t the same and aren’t even labelled that they are different. The 8GB of memory isn’t future proof in any way.

The MacBook Neo is the best budget laptop you can buy right now. While its price is at the higher end of what I’d consider 'budget', the design, build quality and performance are all leagues ahead of its Windows and Chromebook competitors. I particularly like how there’s been no compromise when it comes to macOS — you can run any Mac app or connect your iPhone up to the MacBook Neo, just as you can with far more expensive Mac products, and the screen also blows the budget competition out of the water. However, sacrifices have been made when it comes to the USB-C ports, lack of keyboard backlight and limited unified memory, which although understandable are also a shame.

Not only could this be the best laptop for students and most users but Apple has also launched their Macbook Pro with the M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. So its a full court press against Microsoft and Windows.

Comentario

Apple A18 GPU: La GPU Apple A18 integra cinco núcleos, trazado de rayos por hardware y soporte de malla. Apple afirma que la GPU A18 es hasta un 40% más rápida que la GPU A16 del iPhone 15. En nuestras pruebas comparativas, la unidad gráfica se sitúa entre la antigua GPU A16 y la GPU A17 Pro con 6 núcleos.

Estas tarjetas también deben ser capaces de aguantar todos los juegos actuales, pero  la mayoría de ellos en configuraciones de detalles medios y bajos y con bajas resoluciones. Juegos más antiguos, o menos exigentes todavía pueden ser jugados con buena calidad de gráficos.


>> Más información puede ser encontrada en nuestra comparación de tarjetas gráficas moviles y la lista de benchmarks.


A18 Pro: Un potente procesador para smartphones y sucesor formal del A17 Pro. Cuenta con 2 núcleos de rendimiento y 4 núcleos eficientes junto con una NPU de 35 TOPS y la GPU A18 Pro de 6 núcleos. El A18 Pro deja bastante atrás al Dimensity 9300, así como al Apple A17 Pro y al Apple A18, con al menos un 10% de ventaja, en lo que a rendimiento multihilo se refiere; mientras tanto, la GPU de 6 núcleos consigue batir a la GPU M1 de 7 núcleos en muchas pruebas.
