Apple MacBook Neo in-depth review
The Apple MacBook Neo is one of the most intriguing devices to come out of Cupertino in years. With a starting price that aggressively undercuts the rest of the Mac lineup, it aims to put a premium Apple laptop into the hands of students and budget-conscious users. To achieve this, Apple has done something unprecedented: they've taken the A18 Pro chip straight from their flagship iPhones and put it inside a sleek, 13-inch aluminum chassis.

Pros
- Incredible sub-$600 entry price for the macOS ecosystem
- Premium, eco-friendly aluminum unibody design
- Good and PWM-free Liquid Retina display
- Fantastic battery life (nearly 16 hours)
- Incredibly snappy single-core performance for everyday tasks
- Very good trackpad, webcam, and speakers for the price
Cons
- No keyboard backlight

- Touch ID is only available on the more expensive 512GB model
- Locked to a maximum of 8GB of RAM with zero upgradeability
- CPU runs hot and throttles heavily under sustained heavy workloads
