MacBook for many. The name &#8220;Neo&#8221; is intentional. Apple is appealing to new users who can&#8217;t afford to spend more than $1,000 on a laptop. Neo is also geared toward parents who, having witnessed the degree of attention and care teenagers bring to their possessions (or lack thereof), aren&#8217;t willing to spend a lot of money on a laptop for their children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MacBook Neo is a perfect compromise. By far the most affordable MacBook, it still offers the same premium design and durability as Apple&#8217;s pricier MacBooks. It&#8217;s also lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry, and comes in three fun colors (plus standard silver). Unless your kid is a budding filmmaker or building their first LLM, they don&#8217;t need the power of an Air or a Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A combination of the MacBook Neo and the <a data-link-uuid=\"3878b005-415a-4024-8535-69d76d53116a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/apple-iphone-17e-review\/\">cheapest iPhone<\/a>&nbsp;comes out to only $100 more than the <a data-link-uuid=\"6f37fb09-52f8-4eb8-881c-f778ee2b670c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/macbook-air-upgrade-guide-m5-vs-m4-m3-m2-m1\/\">cheapest MacBook Air<\/a>&nbsp;alone. And you still get Apple&#8217;s $100 education discount with the Neo, which is nearly double the percentage discount (17% versus 9%) that students can save on the Air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/big-guessing-game-apple-edition-round-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Win a New Apple Watch in CNET Big Guessing Game Contest<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To hit its $599 price, Apple&#8217;s new budget laptop is missing a few features, namely Touch ID. But by adding an $100 upgrade, you can get Touch ID and double the storage to 512GB SSD. Most laptop owners will benefit from the added storage, and everyone should want Touch ID, in my humble opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MacBook Neo features an A18 Pro chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro, 8GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD (without the upgrade mentioned above). As cute and colorful as it is, the MacBook Neo is more than just a starter laptop. It could also serve as a great device for anyone who wants to browse the web, watch a show or movie, perform some light edits on photos and text using all 10 fingers on a keyboard &#8212; rather than just two thumbs on your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple MacBook Neo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-overflow\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Price as reviewed<\/td><td>$599, \u00a3599, AU$899<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Display size\/resolution<\/td><td>13-inch, 2,480&#215;1,506-pixel LED-backlit IPS display, 500 nits brightness<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CPU <\/td><td>A18 Pro 6-core CPU (2P, 4E)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Memory <\/td><td>8GB unified memory<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Graphics <\/td><td>Integrated A18 Pro 5\u2011core GPU<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Storage<\/td><td>256GB SSD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Networking <\/td><td>Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ports<\/td><td>USB 3 (USB-C), USB 2 (USB-C), headphone<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Operating system <\/td><td>MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td>2.7 lbs (1.2 kg)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-e99b0bd4-4288-4113-9a1d-f75096dbb708\">Premium MacBook design for less<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MacBook Neo drops the entry point of an Apple laptop by a whopping $500.

Most laptops at this price have a mixture of aluminum and plastic, if they&#8217;re not entirely made of plastic. You might get an aluminum lid to protect the display, but the keyboard deck and bottom panel are probably plastic in most budget laptops. Or if you find one with an all-aluminum design, it&#8217;s thin and flimsy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s none of that with the Neo. It looks and feels like a slightly shrunken-down MacBook Air or Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo forces you to make do with less performance and some missing features compared with the MacBook Air, and I&#8217;ll get to those items below, but I need to start with the design and build quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe how similar the MacBook Neo is to its big siblings. Like MacBook Air and Pro models, the Neo has a sturdy, all-aluminum body. It feels just as rigid as a MacBook Air or Pro with the same luxurious look. The Neo doesn&#8217;t cheapen the MacBook brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/a4bf40b3-c6f5-445d-bb6b-c2efd5f68821.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"Apple MacBook Neo in blush\" class=\"wp-image-4779517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/a4bf40b3-c6f5-445d-bb6b-c2efd5f68821.jpg 5712w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/a4bf40b3-c6f5-445d-bb6b-c2efd5f68821.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/a4bf40b3-c6f5-445d-bb6b-c2efd5f68821.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/a4bf40b3-c6f5-445d-bb6b-c2efd5f68821.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/a4bf40b3-c6f5-445d-bb6b-c2efd5f68821.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/a4bf40b3-c6f5-445d-bb6b-c2efd5f68821.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>The MacBook Neo doesn&#8217;t look or feel all that different from a MacBook Air.

Instead of black keys, the Neo&#8217;s match the body&#8217;s color.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the two laptops feel the same when you pick them up, both in their smooth, brushed-aluminum surfaces and their overall system weight. Despite being slightly more compact than the MacBook Air, the MacBook Neo is a hair thicker at 0.5 inches (versus the Air at 0.4 inches) and weighs the same at 2.7 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo&#8217;s display bezels are also a bit thicker than the Air&#8217;s, but Apple uses the bigger top bezel to hide the webcam; in other words, there&#8217;s no notch in the menu bar to house the camera, which makes the thicker bezels more palatable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Neo had a webcam notch, then I would have wanted Apple to find a way to thin out the bezels on the Neo and squeeze in the same 13.6-inch display that you get with the MacBook Air &#8212; or at least get closer to it in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c5024deb-8e30-40f2-ad8b-40c46d55d99d.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"Apple MacBook Neo display bezels and no camera notch\" class=\"wp-image-4779519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c5024deb-8e30-40f2-ad8b-40c46d55d99d.jpg 5640w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c5024deb-8e30-40f2-ad8b-40c46d55d99d.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c5024deb-8e30-40f2-ad8b-40c46d55d99d.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c5024deb-8e30-40f2-ad8b-40c46d55d99d.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c5024deb-8e30-40f2-ad8b-40c46d55d99d.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c5024deb-8e30-40f2-ad8b-40c46d55d99d.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>Look ma, no notch!<\/p><span class=\"zd-image-credit\">Matt Elliott\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-image-zoom\" data-action=\"enlarge-image\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Apple MacBook Neo display bezels and no camera notch\"><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But without a notch, I&#8217;m good with the Neo&#8217;s thicker bezels and 13-inch display. In fact, I&#8217;m quite pleased with its size after hearing rumors that Apple might follow the recipe of the short-lived <a data-link-uuid=\"096f7a11-d5ae-495b-acec-9f3dbb4f1f5e\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/reviews\/apple-macbook-2015-review\/\">12-inch MacBook<\/a> from a decade ago and offer something smaller than the MacBook Neo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MacBook Neo features a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2,480&#215;1,506-pixel resolution. Text and images appear just as sharp as they do on the MacBook Air, which has a 13.6-inch panel with a similar 2,560&#215;1,664-pixel resolution. And it proved to be a bit brighter than the M5 MacBook Air. Both displays are rated for an ample 500 nits of brightness (most budget laptops fall between 300 and 400 nits, with some as low as 250 nits), but the Neo reached a peak brightness of 518 nits during my display tests using a Spyder X Elite colorimeter. The M5 Air hit its rated brightness on the nose, reaching 500 nits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6ac4a2e8-1fa3-4b46-88d5-e7dc40b1ed59.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"MacBook Neo 13-inch Liquid Retina display\" class=\"wp-image-4779497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6ac4a2e8-1fa3-4b46-88d5-e7dc40b1ed59.jpg 5347w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6ac4a2e8-1fa3-4b46-88d5-e7dc40b1ed59.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6ac4a2e8-1fa3-4b46-88d5-e7dc40b1ed59.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6ac4a2e8-1fa3-4b46-88d5-e7dc40b1ed59.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6ac4a2e8-1fa3-4b46-88d5-e7dc40b1ed59.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/6ac4a2e8-1fa3-4b46-88d5-e7dc40b1ed59.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>The MacBook Neo is based on a 13-inch Liquid Retina display.<\/p><\/figcaption><button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-image-zoom\" data-action=\"enlarge-image\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: MacBook Neo 13-inch Liquid Retina display\"><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo&#8217;s color performance is merely mediocre, but people who engage in color-accurate graphics work aren&#8217;t the Neo&#8217;s audience. In fact, this type of user will likely opt for the Air over the Liquid Retina XDR display on a MacBook Pro. On my tests, the MacBook Neo covered 98% of sRGB, 73% of AdobeRGB and 74% of P3. Compare that with the M5 Air, which hit 100% of sRGB, 86% of AdobeRGB, and 98% of P3. But again, color performance isn&#8217;t likely high on a budget laptop shopper&#8217;s priority list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people interested in the Neo will want to know which features it has and which it doesn&#8217;t. So, let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-8cba8ee0-d054-457f-860a-bf7d8af53fd8\">Missing features I miss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple sent me the base $599 model that has a 256GB SSD and a lock button in the top right of the keyboard, where I desperately want a Touch ID sensor. You can add Touch ID for an extra $100, which also doubles the storage to a 512GB SSD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d spend $100 just to get Touch ID because I use it so frequently, not just to get past the MacOS lock screen but to access my various online accounts and make online purchases. I&#8217;d spend a nickel every time I could use Touch ID instead of having to remember and type in a password, and it would pay for itself in a few months. (I would conservatively estimate I use Touch ID 20 times a day, so I&#8217;d have 2,000 nickels in the till after only 100 days.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would also gladly accept the greater storage that comes with the Neo&#8217;s Touch ID upgrade. Most users will quickly fill the 256GB SSD to capacity. After logging in with my Apple ID, I had only 145GB of free storage on the Neo&#8217;s 256GB drive, with roughly 25GB allocated each to Messages, Photos, Applications and MacOS Tahoe itself. The added storage space and Touch ID are well worth the added $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/be534202-60fe-46a6-8096-231caec8416b.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"MacBook Neo lock button\" class=\"wp-image-4779073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/be534202-60fe-46a6-8096-231caec8416b.jpg 4031w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/be534202-60fe-46a6-8096-231caec8416b.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/be534202-60fe-46a6-8096-231caec8416b.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/be534202-60fe-46a6-8096-231caec8416b.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/be534202-60fe-46a6-8096-231caec8416b.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/be534202-60fe-46a6-8096-231caec8416b.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>It&#8217;ll cost you $100 to turn that lock button into a Touch ID sensor.<\/p><span class=\"zd-image-credit\">Matt Elliott\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-image-zoom\" data-action=\"enlarge-image\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: MacBook Neo lock button\"><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The feature I miss most that you can&#8217;t add to the MacBook Neo is MagSafe charging. I like the satisfying snap when I connect the MagSafe cable to my MacBook, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing the cable will release easily and won&#8217;t pull my MacBook to the ground if I trip over the cord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo&#8217;s battery is much smaller than the Air&#8217;s. It has a 36.5-watt-hour battery compared with the Air&#8217;s bigger 53.8-watt-hour battery. Given how close the two laptops are in size, I&#8217;m surprised by the difference in battery capacity. The Neo&#8217;s battery life will still get you through most days on a single charge, but, as you&#8217;ll see below, it&#8217;s hours shorter than the M5 MacBook Air. It&#8217;s also more than 2 hours shorter than the M1 MacBook Air, which had an even bigger battery (58.2 watt hours) than the latest Air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/e519af20-edff-484b-8f1d-aa28089bf947.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"MacBook Neo 20-watt charger\" class=\"wp-image-4779521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/e519af20-edff-484b-8f1d-aa28089bf947.jpg 5711w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/e519af20-edff-484b-8f1d-aa28089bf947.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/e519af20-edff-484b-8f1d-aa28089bf947.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/e519af20-edff-484b-8f1d-aa28089bf947.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/e519af20-edff-484b-8f1d-aa28089bf947.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/e519af20-edff-484b-8f1d-aa28089bf947.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>The MacBook Neo includes a 20-watt charger that does not support fast charging.<\/p><span class=\"zd-image-credit\">Matt Elliott\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-image-zoom\" data-action=\"enlarge-image\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: MacBook Neo 20-watt charger\"><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo offers USB-C charging, which doesn&#8217;t snap into place or disconnect as easily. And it doesn&#8217;t charge as fast. The Neo comes with a 20-watt power adapter that doesn&#8217;t charge the battery as fast as even the standard 40- to 60-watt dynamic charger that comes with the M5 Air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo took about an hour to charge the battery to 50%, which the M5 Air did in approximately half that time. The Neo took 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach 80% and 2.5 hours to reach full charge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One last nitpick with the Neo&#8217;s charging setup: The power cord is 20 inches shorter than the Air&#8217;s, which might cramp your style if you need to charge in a coffee shop or lunchroom and aren&#8217;t sitting right next to an outlet. At least the Neo&#8217;s power cord is braided like the Air&#8217;s, so it doesn&#8217;t tangle as easily, but it&#8217;s not color-matched. My blush Neo has a white power cord. Also, both ports are on the left side, so you lose some charging flexibility there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-fcb01a8d-3949-41aa-8b85-c178b197b4e4\">Missing features I can live without<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other features that go missing on the MacBook Neo that you get with the Air, and I&#8217;m willing to concede that to shave $500 off the cost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let&#8217;s talk about the 8GB of RAM. That&#8217;s half the MacBook Air&#8217;s memory, and you can&#8217;t upgrade it. For my needs of using Google Docs and Sheets with dozens of other open tabs in Chrome next to the ChatGPT Atlas browser, doing some light photo editing in Photos, keeping Messages open for responding to texts using the keyboard instead of grabbing my iPhone and streaming music in the Spotify app, the 8GB suffices. I even did some of my normal edits in iMovie, and that workflow went smoothly, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve had an entirely pleasant MacOS experience on the Neo the past few days and rarely saw the MacOS spinning beachball. I haven&#8217;t missed having 16GB of memory, but if you need a MacBook for more demanding graphics work, then you&#8217;ll want to step up to at least a MacBook Air for its added memory as well as the additional CPU and GPU cores you get with an M5 processor compared with the Neo&#8217;s A18 Pro chip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More on Neo&#8217;s performance in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I saw that the MacBook Neo has a mechanical trackpad instead of the Force Touch trackpad you get with the Air, I was certain I&#8217;d pine for the Force Touch&#8217;s haptic feedback. But the Neo&#8217;s mechanical touchpad is surprisingly awesome. It offers a consistent click response across its entire surface. There&#8217;s not even a hint of the diving-board effect that plagues most mechanical keyboards; a click on the top edge feels no different than a click on the bottom edge of the Neo&#8217;s trackpad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01611752-4e51-47bd-9105-9f7c7a18b1b2.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"MacBook Neo color-matched keyboard in blush\" class=\"wp-image-4779523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01611752-4e51-47bd-9105-9f7c7a18b1b2.jpg 5712w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01611752-4e51-47bd-9105-9f7c7a18b1b2.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01611752-4e51-47bd-9105-9f7c7a18b1b2.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01611752-4e51-47bd-9105-9f7c7a18b1b2.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01611752-4e51-47bd-9105-9f7c7a18b1b2.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01611752-4e51-47bd-9105-9f7c7a18b1b2.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>The MacBook Neo&#8217;s keys are color-matched but not backlit.<\/p><span class=\"zd-image-credit\">Matt Elliott\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-image-zoom\" data-action=\"enlarge-image\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: MacBook Neo color-matched keyboard in blush\"><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I was also ready to complain about the lack of keyboard backlighting, but it turns out the color-matched keys aren&#8217;t just for cosmetic reasons. At least with the blush MacBook Neo that Apple sent me, the dark gray key icons against the light pink color of the keys themselves make the keys stay more visible in low light than the MacBook Air&#8217;s black keys with white icons. (The citrus, indigo and silver models appear to have similarly light-colored keys.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially if you&#8217;re composing an email, writing a document, or working on a spreadsheet with a white background, the display&#8217;s light provides enough illumination to see the keys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo has two speakers, but they sound nearly as good as the MacBook Air&#8217;s quad-speaker array. I think speaker positioning has much to do with the Neo&#8217;s impressive stereo sound, plus the fact that they support Apple&#8217;s spatial audio. The Neo has side-firing speakers located near the front of the laptop, which puts the sound closer to your ears than with the Air, whose speakers fire from the laptop&#8217;s back edge at the display hinge. The Neo&#8217;s sound isn&#8217;t quite as full as the Air&#8217;s, but it&#8217;s better than that of any other sub-$1,000 laptop I&#8217;ve tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo lacks Thunderbolt 4 ports, but I transfer most of my files via the cloud, so I don&#8217;t miss the faster 40Gbps speed. The Neo has a pair of USB-C ports. They&#8217;re unmarked, but you won&#8217;t need to remember that the one further back is USB 3 (10Gbps) and the front one is USB 2 (480Mbps) because MacOS alerts you to use the other port if you connect an external display or storage drive to the USB 2 port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/03cfc347-2ede-443f-b244-98820141661e.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"MacBook Neo USB-C ports\" class=\"wp-image-4779524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/03cfc347-2ede-443f-b244-98820141661e.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/03cfc347-2ede-443f-b244-98820141661e.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/03cfc347-2ede-443f-b244-98820141661e.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/03cfc347-2ede-443f-b244-98820141661e.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/03cfc347-2ede-443f-b244-98820141661e.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/03cfc347-2ede-443f-b244-98820141661e.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>The MacBook Neo&#8217;s three ports (two USB-C and a headphone jack) are all located on the laptop&#8217;s left side.<\/p><span class=\"zd-image-credit\">Matt Elliott\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-image-zoom\" data-action=\"enlarge-image\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: MacBook Neo USB-C ports\"><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo lacks Apple&#8217;s N1 chip, which you get with the M5 MacBook Air for Wi-Fi 7. Like most people I know, I haven&#8217;t upgraded to a Wi-Fi 7 router, so I&#8217;m OK with the Neo&#8217;s Wi-Fi 6E networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The laptop also has a 1080p webcam, but it doesn&#8217;t support Center Stage or Desk View. I have never felt the need to use Desk View on my MacBook Pro, and I remain fairly stationary during video calls, so I don&#8217;t miss the Center Stage feature that keeps you centered in the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, you miss out on Apple&#8217;s True Tone technology with the Neo. It uses ambient light sensors to adjust the display&#8217;s white balance so text and images look more natural and accurate. I&#8217;ve been using the MacBook Neo for only four days, but so far I haven&#8217;t missed True Tone. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-35b50a5b-2d58-4b78-bb2f-94ea827e9e7b\">MacBook Neo performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, the biggest change between the Neo and other MacBooks is the processor. The Neo doesn&#8217;t use one of Apple&#8217;s M-series processors but an iPhone chip &#8212; the A18 Pro that was introduced with the <a data-link-uuid=\"cbf5b96d-2ef4-4e74-9389-493208474d2a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/apple-iphone-16-pro-and-pro-max-review-compelling-upgrade-with-my-favorite-iphone-feature-in-years\/\">iPhone 16 Pro<\/a> in 2024. The A18 Pro has a six-core CPU (two performance cores and four efficiency cores) and a five-core GPU.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare that with the M5 chip that powers the new MacBook Air: The M5 has a 10-core CPU (four performance cores, which Apple now calls &#8220;super cores,&#8221; and six efficiency cores) and either an eight- or 10-core GPU. The Neo&#8217;s core count is closer to the M1 MacBook Air&#8217;s from 2020, but the older M1 Air has more, with eight CPU cores and seven GPU cores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those extra cores show up in our multicore tests for Geekbench 6 and Cinebench 2024, where the Neo finished near or at the back of the pack. It was able to edge the M1 Air on the multicore test of Geekbench 6, but its multicore score on Cinebench 2024 was well off the pace of the other MacBooks, as well as two budget Windows laptops in the <a data-link-uuid=\"702ad965-10f0-4049-b358-4dd77bfdf79f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/acer-aspire-14-ai-review-cheap-copilot-plus-pc-offers-great-battery-life-and-future-proofing\/\">Acer Aspire 14 AI<\/a> and <a data-link-uuid=\"42cb38e6-8a39-4dcd-aed6-a018e37cde1b\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/hp-omnibook-5-14-review-you-wont-believe-how-long-this-snapdragon-x-laptop-runs\/\">HP OmniBook 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01740dc9-8342-4df5-9a56-f7469ce40a8b.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"macbook-neo-indigo\" class=\"wp-image-4779526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01740dc9-8342-4df5-9a56-f7469ce40a8b.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01740dc9-8342-4df5-9a56-f7469ce40a8b.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01740dc9-8342-4df5-9a56-f7469ce40a8b.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01740dc9-8342-4df5-9a56-f7469ce40a8b.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01740dc9-8342-4df5-9a56-f7469ce40a8b.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/01740dc9-8342-4df5-9a56-f7469ce40a8b.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>The indigo color is a deep, dark blue.<\/p><span class=\"zd-image-credit\">Josh Goldman\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-image-zoom\" data-action=\"enlarge-image\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: macbook-neo-indigo\"><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neo was more competitive on the single-core versions of these two tests, where its scores were on par with those of the M3 MacBook Air.

It was also more than 2 hours shorter than the M1 MacBook Air&#8217;s time.

(I&#8217;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&#8217;s four choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/7ff21894-d12e-44bf-a060-adc7220db421.jpg?resize=1200,675\" alt=\"A MacBook Neo in the Citrus color sits on a white table.

The two work seamlessly together. Given the convenience and security that Touch ID provides, however, I&#8217;d view Apple&#8217;s $100 educational discount as a way to add Touch ID (along with more storage) for free instead of lowering the price of the base model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those out of school and who want a cheap, portable laptop for casual use around the house or for a job that doesn&#8217;t require demanding creative, scientific or AI tasks, the MacBook Neo makes a lot of sense for the money.
