Apple MacBook Neo 13" (A18 Pro, 2026)

Apple's First iPhone-Chip Mac, Built for Everyday Speed

The MacBook Neo is Apple's most affordable Mac ever, and the first to run on an iPhone-class chip rather than the usual M-series silicon. The A18 Pro's 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU handle everyday multitasking, web browsing, and light creative work comfortably, while the 16-core Neural Engine powers on-device Apple Intelligence features without sending your data anywhere. It's noticeably quicker than a typical budget PC laptop at the same price point, without the fan noise — MacBook Neo runs completely silent.

The 13-inch Liquid Retina display packs a sharp 2408x1506 resolution into a body that weighs just 1.23kg, and the aluminum shell comes in four colors — Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo — so it doesn't look like every other laptop on the table. The Magic Keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, and the 512GB configuration adds Touch ID for quick, secure unlocking (the 256GB model uses a standard power button instead).

Battery life stretches up to 16 hours of video streaming or 11 hours of wireless web use, so a full day away from a charger is realistic rather than aspirational. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6, with one USB-C port for charging and 10Gb/s data plus a second USB-C port for charging and basic USB 2 accessories, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio.

• All-Day Battery: Up to 16 hours of video streaming on a single charge.
