TL;DR: The MacBook Neo is sold out at Apple (shipping dates have slipped into May), but you can still buy right now for Amazon’s best-ever price of $589.99.
If you thought Apple’s MacBook Neo was just a niche product for students, think again. The demand for Apple’s latest entry-level laptop has been staggering. Don’t believe us? Shipping dates have slipped into May if you order direct from Apple.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that whether you want the 256GB base model or the upgraded 512GB version, Amazon has you covered. And better yet, you can order right now for Amazon’s best-ever price of $589.99.
So how did we get here? Global RAM shortages have jacked up the prices of Windows laptops, making the sub-$600 MacBook Neo with the A18 Pro chip the most logical purchase on the market. In Mashable’s review of the MacBook Neo, Timothy Werth sums it up: “For students, young people, and casual users, there’s nothing else like it at this price.”

We’re not rushing you into any decision here, but if you were already contemplating a purchase, consider this a warning. The popularity of the MacBook Neo is surging, and Amazon’s record-low price might not stick around forever.
