Apple surprised customers and the Windows laptop market with the release of its $599 MacBook Neo this April. Featuring the company’s A18 Pro chip, which performs on par with the M1 and M2 processors, a premium aluminum finish, great battery life, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB/512GB storage options, Apple is redefining the budget laptop market. After all, a lower price point shouldn’t mean users have to settle for a bad product.

While buyers could opt for an older premium model like the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, choosing Apple Silicon is wiser. Unlike that final Intel MacBook Pro, which will lose support when macOS 27 launches later this year, these newer options are likely to remain supported for years to come without requiring a massive investment. Still, if the MacBook Neo isn’t quite your cup of tea, there is a vast market for used MacBooks in 2026 that are even more affordable and still highly capable, such as the M1 and M2 versions of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
