Apple launches MacBook Neo, its first low-budget laptop. At Rs 64,900, the MacBook Neo costs the same as the iPhone 17e and iPad Air M4.
This comes after the Cupertino company unveiled the iPhone 17e, iPad Air M4, MacBook Air M5, and MacBook Pro with M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max. While the MacBook Air and Pro are much higher priced, the MacBook Neo aims to offer an experience between an iPad and a MacBook.
Apple MacBook Neo: Price and availability
The MacBook Neo is available in four colour options: Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo, adding a vibrant touch to Apple’s laptop lineup.
The 256GB variant with a Magic Keyboard is priced at Rs 69,900, while the 512GB model with Touch ID costs Rs 79,900. Both models are offered with instant cashback and No Cost EMI options, starting from Rs 11,150 per month.
Pre-bookings for the MacBook Neo open today, with sales beginning on March 11 through Apple’s online store, authorised retailers, and select Apple Premium Resellers across India.
