Kyley Warren- Apple announced a new, low-cost laptop called the MacBook Neo, priced at $599.

High-quality computers typically demand high-dollar prices; naturally, you pay more to get more. But Apple's latest laptop innovation is challenging that narrative, as the premier tech brand launched its first MacBook model since the Air, and just in time for Apple's 50th anniversary celebration taking place April 1; with a price tag of just $599, it's one of its cheapest models ever.
Meet the Apple MacBook Neo, a 13-inch laptop that's powered by Apple’s A18 Pro processor, with built-in AI and Apple intelligence capabilities that make this device one of the most up-to-date models on the market; somehow, it's also Apple's first under-$900 laptop launch in a decade.
Designed to help you tackle everyday tasks, this Apple laptop has it all: Liquid Retina display, an all-day battery life and a bevy of fun color options ranging from a pink MacBook to a citrus green MacBook and more. Below, you can purchase the popular Apple device at Amazon:
