Apple just raised the price of the MacBook Neo by $100, taking the base model from $599 to $699. So the big question is simple: is it still worth buying, or should you spend more and get a MacBook Air instead?
In this video, I revisit my original MacBook Neo review after Apple's global price increase. We'll break down why the price went up, how the AI memory shortage is affecting the entire PC industry, whether 8GB of RAM is actually enough in 2026, and who should (and shouldn't) buy the Neo at its new price.
We'll also compare the MacBook Neo to the MacBook Air, discuss refurbished alternatives, battery life, performance, storage, Touch ID, ports, and long-term software support to help you decide which Mac offers the best value.
If you're shopping for a new MacBook, this is everything you need to know before you buy.
