Apple Just Debuted A Glorified Piece Of e-Junk, And Called It MacBook Neo

5 March 2026 at 18:40

Apple has finally debuted its latest chronically hyped up budget offering, dubbed the MacBook Neo, replete with specs that barely qualify for 2016, let alone 2026.

Apple has finally unveiled its much-anticipated MacBook Neo, bringing a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2,408 x 1,506 resolution and 500 nits brightness, uniform bezels, Touch ID, dual-firing speakers that support Spatial Audio, a 1080p front camera, a brightly colored aluminum frame, and color-matching keyboard to the proverbial table. However, to price the MacBook Neo at a very attractive $599, Apple has had to make a lot of compromises along the way, with some that were, frankly speaking, quite unavoidable. The litany of compromises that Apple has had to make to launch the MacBook Neo at a price point […]

Planned obsolescence is the game in town, especially in the tech world, and no one appears as savvy at this game as Apple, which has elevated the periodic adjustments of its product portfolio into an art form. Today, Apple has discontinued its 32-inch 6K display, called the Pro Display XDR, and replaced it with a 27-inch 5K one, aptly dubbed the Studio Display XDR. Apple replaces the pricey Pro Display XDR with the cheaper Studio Display XDR, entailing some compromises Apple has officially retired the Pro Display XDR in favor of the new 27-inch Studio Display XDR, which, while a […]

With the hardware side of Apple's AI strategy reportedly in an equal, if not greater, disarray than the software side, it is hardly a surprise that the Cupertino giant has been forced to rely on Google's servers, along with its very capable Gemini model, to ship the revamped Siri and the AI features that come with it. Against this backdrop, the bespoke Baltra ASIC might be Apple's only viable avenue of escaping Google's ensnaring clutches. Apple's internal disarray is leading to a situation where a large proportion of its AI servers simply sit idle on warehouse shelves The Information is […]
