It’s no exaggeration to say that Apple’s MacBook Neo has reshaped the budget laptop market.
Apple’s first foray into the budget laptop market could not have gone better, since the starting price for the Neo of R11,999 placed this new offering as a direct competitor to the vast majority of Windows laptops and Google’s Chromebooks.
The difference with the Neo though, was that even though it was powered by an iPhone chip, it is extremely powerful at that price point.
The Neo can handle any office work right up to basic 4K video editing without any trouble, and it’s a fact that it will outperform any Windows laptop or Chromebook with the same - and sometimes superior - specs.
