Apple has announced the MacBook Neo, a $600 laptop designed to compete with Windows-based laptops.

Apple has introduced the MacBook Neo, a laptop that will cost $600, making it the most affordable in the company's portfolio. This is the first Apple laptop equipped with a chipset from the A series, specifically the A18 Pro, developed for iPhone and iPad, replacing the previously used Intel and M chips. The MacBook Neo features a 13-inch display, two USB-C ports (without MagSafe power), and promises a battery life of up to 16 hours. There will be two versions: one for $600, with 256GB storage and without Touch ID, and another for $700, with 512GB storage and Touch ID. The laptop will be available in four colors: silver, indigo, peach, and citrus.
