The introduction of the MacBook Neo was a big event for Apple. Not only was it a new model for its MacBook catalog, but it was also a shift to cover the value end of the market.
This is a price category that Apple has no real prior experience in, considering its premium-focused history. However, while the market is already full of extremely good examples of low-cost notebooks, the MacBook Neo still caused a stir with reviewers.
