Apple made its MacBook Neo official on March 4, and its $599 introductory price tag is practically all that the laptop crowd could talk about for the rest of the week. Even Microsoft's former head of Windows (2009-2012), Steven Sinofsky, called the Neo a "paradigm-shifting computer" in a post on X.
Part of the Neo's appeal, aside from its budget pricing, is its straightforward design that promises some of the best repairability of any MacBook in recent memory. Industry repair pros at iFixit gave the Neo a 6/10 score, noting that "for Apple laptop repair, that counts as a real comeback."
