Apple is reportedly testing a MacBook Neo with more RAM
Apple is reportedly developing an updated version of its budget MacBook Neo featuring an A19 Pro processor and increased RAM. The company is also planning future refreshes for its iMac and MacBook Pro lines, including potential transitions to OLED display technology.
Why it matters
As a major consumer electronics trendsetter, Apple's hardware roadmap influences industry standards for mobile computing performance and display technology.
Following the MacBook Neo’s huge popularity so far, Apple is reportedly developing an updated version of its budget laptop with a new processor and more memory, and even has plans to refresh the model with new colors. Following a similar report from analyst Tim Culpan earlier this year, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the new Neo will run on an A19 Pro processor, which currently powers the iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max and the iPhone Air, unlike the current laptop’s A18 Pro that was originally in the iPhone 16 Pro. The chip upgrade also means the updated Neo may have more RAM, likely 12GB rather than the original 8GB.
