Our take on the Apple 13-inch MacBook Neo

The MacBook Neo is Apple's 13-inch aluminum laptop built around the A18 Pro chip, the same silicon family used in its phones, with 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB or 512 GB SSD. It pairs a glossy 13-inch Retina IPS screen with a 1080p webcam, backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6.0, and Apple rates battery life at 16 hours. At $799 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, making this a good moment to buy if the 8 GB RAM and 256 GB base storage fit your work.

Questions and answers

Is the MacBook Neo worth it at $799?
At $799 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, it is the cheapest way into a new aluminum Mac laptop with a 16-hour battery. It is worth it for writing, browsing and calls; step up if you need more than 8 GB RAM.
How does it compare to the MacBook Air?
