MacBook Neo looks really good. It's a lot like the MacBook Air but with enough compromises (chips, ports) to get it down to $599.

$599 is a staggering price for a new Mac. There's never been a NEW model Mac laptop for that price. The cheapest new Mac model ever sold was the $499 Mac mini

Because nothing says Neo like a USB spec from *checks notes* 1996

@xenonchromatic given how people use computers it's not unreasonable at all but sure, if you'd like Thunderbolt please pay more money

@jsnell Im definitely getting a good chuckle watching folks defend the decision to limit it to USB 2.0 speeds. Even 3.0 would have been funny in 2026 but limiting it to a 30 year old standard illustrates the current rot in Cupertino.
