Apple unveils the $599+ MacBook Neo, with a 13-inch Liquid Retina display, an A18 Pro chip, side-firing speakers, a 1080p webcam, two USB-C ports, and Touch ID

Apple debuts a new entry-level MacBook at just the right time  —  Apple finally took the wraps off its long-rumored budget laptop.

Another small way the MacBook Neo was decontented besides slow ports: it doesn't have a Force Touch trackpad. [image]

MacBook Neo hands-on: it doesn't feel budget, with an aluminum body and weighing 2.7 lbs like the Air, but it has a flimsy keyboard and no option above 8GB RAM

Devindra Hardawar /Engadget:

I'm bummed we didn't get an event or video from Apple on the new M5 Pro and M5 Max given how big of a change they are i.e. “super cores” and new fusion chiplet design. Also it is nice to see the SSD improvements on the new Macbook Pro. I find it odd that Apple doesn't call out [image]

Looks like the MacBook Neo uses a binned A18 Pro Chip as the iPhone 16 Pro has a 6-core GPU and the MacBook Neo has a 5-core GPU. [image]

Interesting that many of the new Apple Creator Studio features support A16 and A17 iPads instead of just M-series iPads.  And is this the first time that Apple has set a RAM requirement for iPad features?  From a footnote in the article: “iPad must have at least 6 GB memory and an A16, A17 Pro, or M-series chip or later.”  Before Apple only required a certain family of chips for feature compatibility.
