Macworld With the introduction of the MacBook Neo, Apple has finally done what many thought it never would: ship a truly budget Mac laptop. At $599, the MacBook Neo becomes the cheapest Mac you can buy and undercuts the cheapest MacBook Air by a wide margin.

The MacBook Neo's two USB-C ports have two different specifications, with one being limited to USB 2 speeds. One port is a USB-C 3 port with support for data transfer speeds up to 10 Gb/s, while the other is a USB-C 2 port with support for data transfer speeds up to 480 Mb/s.

Apple's 'budget' MacBook makes a few compromises to hit its new low price point.

The MacBook Neo is a new laptop from Apple that is sure to be a big hit because it comes in at a much lower price than the MacBook Air, starting at $599/£599 compared to the MacBook Air’s $1,099/£1,099.

A sketchy new leak claims Apple's budget MacBook could skip True Tone, fast charging, and a backlit keyboard. Here's what to watch for in March. The post The new low-cost MacBook might lack features you actually use appeared first on Digital Trends.
