If you’ve been wondering whether this laptop is the real deal or just hype, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s dive in and see if the MacBook Neo lives up to its name.
In this video, we put the MacBook Neo through its paces to find out if it’s worth your hard-earned cash. Watch as we test its performance, check out its design, and see if it can handle the daily grind of a typical user.
The Neo starts at Php39,999 and goes up to Php46,999 for the 8GB + 512GB variant (if you are a student, then get the Apple Educational discount of only Php 33,990 for the base model.)
The entry-level MacBook Neo is a great option if you are starting out on a Mac and don’t have a huge budget.
Pros:
* Great build quality like any other MacBooks
* Nice brilliant display
* Attractive price point as an entry-level device
* Nice color options
Cons:
* Slow charging
* Minimal ports
* No backlit keyboard (that I missed the most)
