Even $100 more expensive, Apple's MacBook Neo still offers great bang for your buck

Apple's MacBook Neo has increased in price by $100 for general consumers ($699) and $599 for students due to memory shortages, but remains a competitive option compared to similarly priced laptops. The device uses surplus iPhone chips, features an aluminum chassis, and offers strong battery life, positioning it as a value-driven choice despite higher-end model price hikes.
