Apple's upcoming entry-level laptop, possibly called the "MacBook Neo," reportedly will come in a variety of eye-catching colors.

Overview

  • Apple’s EU/UK compliance page briefly named an unreleased “MacBook Neo (Model A3404)” before the reference was removed, first spotted by MacRumors.
  • The regulatory link exposed the branding but no specs, while leaked documentation and reporting point to two USB‑C ports, MagSafe charging, and Wi‑Fi 7 using a MediaTek chip instead of Apple’s N1.
  • Coverage indicates the laptop is a lower‑cost entry below the MacBook Air and is expected to use an iPhone‑class A‑series processor such as A18 Pro, with some reports allowing for A19 Pro.
  • Multiple outlets report colorful finishes and a display of roughly 12.9 inches, positioning the device for students and Chromebook or budget Windows buyers.
  • Apple is staging a multi‑day rollout this week, and the MacBook Neo is widely expected to be unveiled on March 4, with pricing rumors in the $599–$799 range remaining unconfirmed.
