MacBook Neo

Apple just dropped something unexpected—a MacBook under their main brand with a tagline promising "the magic of Mac at a surprising price." That's right, Apple made a budget laptop. The names attached to this thing are Kantar Lin, Ani Mahal, Eugene Malchuk, Christian David Bazan, Ford Davidson, and Jerry Tan, though what roles they played is still unclear. If this is actually real, it's Apple's first legitimate play at the affordable laptop market since the old MacBook Air era—they've been charging premium prices for years, so a budget option is kind of a big deal. We'll see what the specs actually look like when (and if) this thing launches.
