Apple has introduced a new MacBook called the MacBook Neo, offering a more budget-friendly option for laptop buyers starting at £599. This price is significantly lower than the latest M5-powered MacBook Air, making it an attractive choice. The MacBook Neo features a premium design with aluminum construction, a 13-inch Liquid Retina display, a long-lasting 16-hour battery life, and a comfortable keyboard. It is available in Silver, Citrus, Indigo, and Blush color options.

To maintain affordability, Apple has equipped the MacBook Neo with the A18 Pro chip, commonly used in their smartphones. Despite this, the laptop is capable of handling daily tasks like web browsing, video editing, photo retouching, and streaming content. Sky is offering a deal where customers can purchase the MacBook Neo for £12.50 per month on a 48-month contract, which includes a SIM card with 100MB of free data. The total cost over the contract period amounts to £624, slightly higher than the upfront purchase price.

For the 256GB model without Touch ID, the monthly price is £12.50, while the 512GB version with Touch ID costs £15 per month. The MacBook Neo is not exclusive to Sky and can also be purchased from retailers such as Argos, Currys, and Amazon.
