Those MacBooks shipped over 900,000 and 550,000 units, respectively, in their debut quarters.<\/p>\n<p>So in the first few weeks on sale, Apple\u2019s laptop lineup reportedly sold like this:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>MacBook Neo: 1.1 million units<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Air with M5: 900,000 units<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Pro with M5 Pro\/Max: 550,000 units<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a close race between MacBook Neo and MacBook Air. When taking into account older MacBook Air models, however, the Air was almost certainly still Apple\u2019s bestselling laptop during the three-week launch period\u2014not to mention the full quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Where things could get more interesting is the current quarter, covering April through June. <\/p>\n<p>The report continues: \u201claunch-quarter figures may tell only part of the story, with Singh forecasting a \u2018very big spike\u2019 in Neo shipments in the current quarter as Apple works through supply constraints and expands availability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If MacBook Neo does get a big spike this quarter, that almost certainly will make it Apple\u2019s overall bestselling Mac.<\/p>\n<p>What are your takeaways from IDC\u2019s report on MacBook Neo, Air, and Pro sales numbers?
