Apple MacBook Neo 256 GB
Apple MacBook Neo 256 GB si posiziona come il laptop macOS entry-level da 13 pollici di Apple, abbinando un chip A18 Pro ad un design in alluminio leggero e senza ventole. Le recensioni ne elogiano le prestazioni per euro e la pulizia generale, pur notando una notevole riduzione dei costi in aree come le porte, i limiti di memoria e alcune funzioni di convenienza.

Apple MacBook Neo 256 GB è un MacBook da 13 pollici orientato al budget che combina uno chassis in alluminio senza ventole con il processore A18 Pro di Apple. Con 8 GB di memoria LPDDR5 a bordo e un SSD da 256 GB, si rivolge a studenti e acquirenti di valore che desiderano macOS a un prezzo inferiore. Il display IPS 2408 x 1506 è nitido ma limitato a 60 Hz e utilizza una finitura lucida. La connettività include USB-C con power delivery e supporto DisplayPort, oltre a Wi-Fi 6E e Bluetooth 6, ma la selezione complessiva di porte è ridotta. Le recensioni lo posizionano intorno agli 80, descrivendolo come sorprendentemente capace per il suo prezzo rispetto ai tipici rivali Windows e Chromebook. I principali compromessi più volte citati sono la memoria fissa da 8 GB e altre omissioni come la riduzione delle porte e la mancanza della retroilluminazione della tastiera.

86% Recensione dell'Apple MacBook Neo - Un portatile sorprendentemente buono e capace per 599 dollari, con un grande difetto | Notebookcheck
Appleil nuovo MacBook Neo è il primo MacBook economico alimentato dal processore smartphone A18 Pro a 599 dollari. Il risultato è un computer portatile che sembra e si sente come un MacBook, ed è anche sorprendentemente potente per quello che è. C'è però un grande difetto.
Quanto dura la batteria del nuovo MacBook Neo? Ecco i dati ufficiali di Apple
Sorgente: Mister Gadget Italiano
È importante sottolineare che il MacBook Neo non smetterà di funzionare una volta raggiunti i 1.000 cicli, ma l’autonomia lontano dalla presa di corrente diminuirà drasticamente. Apple considera una batteria “esaurita” quando la sua capacità massima scende sotto l’80% rispetto al valore originale. Se noti che il tuo Mac fatica a caricarsi o appare la notifica “Assistenza consigliata” nelle impostazioni, è giunto il momento di contattare Apple per una sostituzione. Per prevenire un degrado precoce, Apple integra la funzione “Caricamento ottimizzato”, che apprende le tue abitudini quotidiane e ritarda la ricarica oltre l’80% finché non ne hai effettivamente bisogno, riducendo lo stress chimico delle celle.

83% Recensione MacBook Neo: il Mac che tutti aspettavano, al prezzo che (non) tutti aspettavano
Sorgente: Smart World Italiano
MacBook Neo è un prodotto onesto, nel senso più pieno del termine. Sa cosa vuole essere, sa a chi si rivolge, e non cerca di essere qualcosa che non è. Le rinunce ci sono, sono studiate, e quasi sempre hanno un senso. Il risultato è una macchina che per la prima volta porta l'esperienza Mac a un prezzo che non richiede un piano di risparmio pluriennale. Non è il MacBook per tutti. Chi lavora con contenuti creativi, chi ha bisogno di multitasking spinto, chi non può fare a meno di Thunderbolt o di uno spazio colore ampio farà bene a guardare altrove, probabilmente verso un MacBook Air / Pro. Ma per studenti, per chi si avvicina al mondo Mac per la prima volta, per chi cerca un secondo laptop leggero e affidabile, e per chi semplicemente vuole una macchina che funzioni bene senza pensarci troppo, il Neo è probabilmente la risposta giusta. A 699 euro è un buon laptop che mancava nella line-up Apple. A 599 euro con lo sconto education è un affare difficile da ignorare.

Il MacBook Neo è un prodotto eccellente e anche dirompente per il mercato, se lo si guarda per quello che è: un computer pensato per offrire la migliore esperienza fisica possibile a 699 euro, rinunciando consapevolmente alle prestazioni pure che altri computer a parità di prezzo offrono, con altrettante rinunce. La scocca in alluminio stampato, lo schermo calibrato, il trackpad che si clicca ovunque, la tastiera, l'audio, la webcam: tutto è al livello (o quasi) dei modelli superiori.

MacBook Neo, prime impressioni. Com’è fatto, per chi è, come va
Sorgente: DDay IT Italiano
Una nota proprio sul prezzo: in molti ricordano che c’è lo sconto Educational che permette di pagarlo 599 euro, ma lo sconto al momento riguarda solo studenti universitari. Crediamo che uno studente universitario abbia esigenze un po’ più alte: sicuramente è più adatto un Air, e se uno studente fa materie stem, ad esempio ingegneria, potrebbe anche valutare computer non Apple visto che molti software che userà all’università non girano su macOS. Lo sconto quindi c’è, e porta il prezo a 599 euro, ma è uno sconto che non tocca il target migliore: questo è il laptop perfetto per uno studente delle superiori.

MacBook Neo, la prova del computer Apple più economico: un potenziale «guastafeste» per tutto il mercato
Sorgente: Corriere Italiano
Solo il tempo - e le vendite - ci potranno rivelare se davvero con questo dispositivo Apple riuscirà nell'impresa di «rubare» quote percentuali di mercato ai concorrenti produttori di computer. Ora gli utenti potranno decidere se entrare nell'ecosistema macOS più liberamente, senza che ci sia la domanda-scoglio di partenza «ma me lo posso permettere?». 700-800 euro è un prezzo che fa concorrenza a tutti i principali modelli Windows delle varie case produttrici, da Asus a Lenovo, da Acer a Hp.

Abbiamo lavorato e studiato con il MacBook Neo | Recensione
Sorgente: Techprincess IT Italiano
Certo, i compromessi ci sono, ma quelli che davvero minano l’esperienza di utilizzo sono pochi. La mancanza di retroilluminazione della tastiera non è terribile, ma effettivamente mi sono ritrovato sul divano la sera a fare vibe coding cercando di appellarmi alla mia memoria muscolare per toccare i tasti giusti. Un giovane utente che magari lo usa in biblioteche o la sera a letto, potrebbe trovare un po’ ostico questo aspetto. Avere decine di programmi e finestre aperte mette più facilmente in crisi il processore, ma bisogna impegnarsi un po’ per farlo. Se si lavora con SSD esterni bisogna ricordarsi che una delle porte è più lenta e anche che non c’è la ricarica veloce. E la batteria? Termino una giornata produttiva in cui ho scritto, sistemato slide, guardato video e montato la video recensione del Neo con il 55% di batteria. Non è il Pro, ma è comunque un ottimo risultato.

85% Apple MacBook Neo review: accessible, yet aspirational
Sorgente: 91mobiles Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: Slashgear Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: PC Mag Inglese EN→IT
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?
Sorgente: Mezha EN Inglese EN→IT
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!
Sorgente: Gadgetbyte Nepal Inglese EN→IT
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.

Sorgente: The Indian Express Inglese EN→IT
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.

80% Apple MacBook Neo review: can Apple's cheapest laptop be a good buy for photographers?
Sorgente: Digital Camera World Inglese EN→IT
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.

Sorgente: Trusted Reviews Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: Stuff Magazine Inglese EN→IT
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.

80% MacBook Neo review: Apple nails the basics at a low price
Sorgente: XDA Developers Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: Digit.in Inglese EN→IT
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.

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
Sorgente: Hardware Canucks Inglese
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?

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…

100% Apple MacBook Neo review: The best budget laptop money can buy
Sorgente: Expert Reviews Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: T3 Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: XDA Developers Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: Mobile Tech Review Inglese
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]
Sorgente: Cult of Mac Inglese EN→IT
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% I tested the Apple MacBook Neo and it's the best budget laptop ever
Sorgente: Tom's Guide Inglese EN→IT
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
Sorgente: PC Mag Inglese EN→IT
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.)

Sorgente: XDA Developers Inglese EN→IT
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.

He’s my last remaining relative sticking with midrange laptops, and they tend not to stick around for that long.

Apple MacBook Neo review: Can a Mac get by with an iPhone’s processor inside?
Sorgente: Ars Technica Inglese EN→IT
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.

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.

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.

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.

Sorgente: Hardware Canucks Inglese
The Macbook Neo is coming for budget Windows laptops with a price of $599. Actually at that price the Macbook Neo is actually targeting Chromebooks too.

Commenti

Apple A18 GPU: La GPU A18 di Apple integra cinque core, ray-tracing hardware e supporto mesh. Apple afferma che la GPU A18 è fino al 40% più veloce rispetto alla GPU A16 dell'iPhone 15. Nei nostri benchmark, l'unità grafica è posizionata tra la vecchia GPU A16 e la GPU A17 Pro con 6 core.

Ridurre la distanza delle Schede Grafiche per gli utenti che vogliono utilizzare il videogiochi. I nuovi giochi dovrebbero funzionare su queste schede, ma con riduzione dei dettagli e risoluzione mediocre.


>> Ulteriori informazioni le potete trovare nel nostroConfronto delle schede grafiche e nella nostra Lista dei Benchmark.


A18 Pro: Un potente processore per smartphone e successore formale dell'A17 Pro. Presenta 2 core per le prestazioni e 4 core efficienti, oltre a una NPU da 35 TOPS e alla GPU A18 Pro a 6 core. L'A18 Pro lascia il Dimensity 9300, così come l'Apple A17 Pro e l'Apple A18 piuttosto indietro con un vantaggio di almeno il 10%, per quanto riguarda le prestazioni multi-thread; la GPU a 6 core, nel frattempo, riesce a battere la GPU M1 a 7 core in molti test.
