Apple's first Mac laptop using A-series (iPhone-class) silicon rather than M-series. Targets the sub-£800 price tier MacBook Air has historically struggled to reach.
Same A18 Pro silicon as iPhone 16 Pro — 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine. Less powerful than M-series but adequate for the target buyer (students, entry-level office work).
Silver (the only neutral), plus Blush (pink), Citrus (yellow-green), Indigo (blue) — a more consumer-iPhone-style palette than the Air's muted business tones.
Same display family as the MacBook Air 13" — Liquid Retina IPS, True Tone, P3 wide colour.
Runs full macOS (not iPadOS) — supports all standard Mac applications, multi-window workflows, Finder, Terminal, developer tools.
Two USB-C (not Thunderbolt) ports + 3.5 mm combo. Charging via USB-C; no MagSafe.
Standard Touch ID (Apple's capacitive fingerprint reader) or the new Lock Key option (mechanical key with embedded sensor).
The MacBook Neo, launched March 2026, is Apple's new entry-level Mac and the first Mac laptop to ship A-series (iPhone-class) silicon rather than the M-series chips that have defined the Mac line since 2020. It targets the price tier the MacBook Air has historically struggled to reach — sub-£800 — and competes more directly with mid-range Chromebooks, entry Windows laptops, and the iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard combo for student / entry-business / hybrid-tablet buyers.
The silicon shift is the headline. The A18 Pro is the same chip Apple ships in iPhone 16 Pro — 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine — fabricated on the same TSMC 3nm process as the M-series but with iPhone-class power budgets. CPU performance lands roughly between M1 and M2; GPU performance closer to M1. For mainstream productivity work (Office, browser, Mail, Teams, light Adobe), it's adequate; for sustained creative or developer workloads, the MacBook Air M5 remains the right product.
The chassis itself is interesting — four bold colours (Silver, Blush, Citrus, Indigo) versus the Air's muted business palette suggest Apple is targeting the same consumer-iPhone aesthetic for personal-use Mac buyers. Display is 13" Liquid Retina (same panel family as the Air), I/O is 2× USB-C (not Thunderbolt) + 3.5 mm jack, charging is via USB-C with no MagSafe.
For UK business buyers, the Neo is a niche product — adequate for non-power-user roles (reception, retail, light office, education), but the spec gap to the MacBook Air M5 is wide enough that most business fleets should standardise on the Air. The Neo is more relevant for: pupil device rollouts in schools, retail floor-staff iPads-but-with-keyboards, and individuals who want the cheapest macOS device. Servnet quotes the Neo on request.
Sub-£800 macOS device for school / college pupil deployments where Chromebook would otherwise win on price.
Cashier / POS / reception devices where the Air is overspecified.
Individual purchasers who want the cheapest possible macOS device for browsing / Mail / writing.
