Apple released a brand new MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip. Apple Silicon does not disappoint. This processor was originally released in the iPhone 16 Pro and is now powering the MacBook Neo. It's perfect for students and people who want to explore the Apple ecosystem.
Why I Made This Video
Too many people are underestimating the power of the MacBook Neo. It's powerful. I don't expect people to produce a feature film on it, but it will for sure knock out semi-advanced workflows. The real difference between an Air and Pro vs the Neo will be speed. More expensive Mac laptops will be much faster. If time isn't an issue, the MacBook Neo will suffice.
