Apple has unveiled its most affordable MacBook to date, the MacBook Neo, starting at $599 (roughly £450). The new entry-level laptop introduces Apple's first use of an iPhone-class processor in a MacBook, signalling the company's push to attract cost-conscious buyers while the global laptop market faces component shortages. The MacBook Neo promises improved performance, a compact design, and integration with Apple's ecosystem, raising the question of whether it can compete with premium Chromebooks in the $400 to $500 range (approximately £300 to £375).
