Excellent overall.

Particularly the intro video. Finally, Apple’s showing potential customers what they can do with a Mac (iPhone, etc). Secure shopping, continuity, etc.

This is not a small thing. For too long Apple has overlooked the fact that there a lot of features people don’t know about. Features that sell products.

There’s also a $699 model that includes double the storage—512GB—and adds Touch ID.

MacBook Neo is available in four colors: silver, blush, citrus, and indigo.

Here’s what Apple’s hardware chief John Ternus said about the new model:

“We’re incredibly excited to introduce MacBook Neo, which delivers the magic of the Mac at a breakthrough price,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering. “Built from the ground up to be more affordable for even more people, MacBook Neo is a laptop only Apple could create. It features a durable aluminum design in four beautiful colors; a brilliant Liquid Retina display; Apple silicon-powered performance; all-day battery life; a high-quality camera, mics, and speakers; a Magic Keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad; and the intuitive and powerful features of macOS. There is simply no other laptop like it.”
