Apple’s selling refurbished MacBook Neos with a $100 discount

Apple is selling refurbished MacBook Neo laptops in all four colors, with the 256GB model priced at $599 and the 512GB version with Touch ID at $679. Each comes with a one-year warranty and optional AppleCare, making the MacBook Neo a lower-cost option for students and browser-focused users.

The discount highlights how refurbished programs can help Apple preserve demand for entry-level Macs after price increases. It also reinforces a broader trend: affordable laptops powered by mobile-class chips are becoming viable for mainstream computing, even if memory limits still matter for heavier workloads.
