Fun Colors with Durable Aluminum Design
The MacBook Neo was designed with students or fresh graduates who are about to start their professional careers. Its colorful, fun design makes it refreshing to look at even in offices filled with boring black or silver laptops. The Neo comes in a spectrum of four gorgeous colors: blush, indigo, silver, and citrus. These colors extend to the Magic Keyboard in lighter shades and new wallpapers, creating a cohesive design aesthetic and making MacBook Neo the most colorful MacBook yet.
While it does look vibrant, the MacBook Neo is crafted with an aluminum design that’s built to last. It looks elegant with its rounded corners but at the same time feels solid and comfortable to hold. At less than 1.3 kg, the Neo is easy to carry and can be slipped inside a bag.
13-inch Liquid Retina Display
The Neo has a gorgeous 13-inch Liquid Retina display features a 2408-by-1506 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and support for 1 billion colors, bringing to life sharp, crystal-clear text and vibrant images. The display is both brighter and higher in resolution than most PC laptops in this price range, putting it in a class of its own. Finally, an anti-reflective coating provides a comfortable viewing experience in a variety of lighting conditions, allowing users to watch movies, edit photos, or take video calls from anywhere.

Powered by an A18 Pro Processor
All of Apple’s Desktop Computers and Laptops are powered by Apple’s M-series processors since they began in 2020. The MacBook Neo is different though, as it is powered by an A18 Pro processor, which also powered the iPhone 16 series.
Apple claims the A18 Pro is up to 50 percent faster for everyday tasks compared to other laptops with Intel Core Ultra 5. It can work up to 3x faster for on-device AI workloads and up to 2x faster for tasks like photo editing. The integrated 5-core GPU brings graphics to life while playing action-packed games or exploring creative hobbies.
MacBook Neo is also fanless, so it runs completely silent.
All-Day Battery Life
With the new A18 Pro chip on board, the MacBook Neo can run up to 16 hours of battery life on a single charge. This makes it a perfect on-the-go companion for work or play, from the classroom to the coffee shop, and everywhere in between.
MacBook Neo Price and Availability
MacBook Neo starts at ₱39,990 and ₱33,990 for education. It is available in four colors — blush, indigo, silver, and citrus. No word on availability yet.
