The MacBook Neo has made headlines this week, and it’s no surprise. At just £600, Apple’s new budget laptop has the potential to seriously disrupt the market.
At such a low price, I wasn’t expecting any deals for a while on this model, but Amazon has already broken ranks by offering the device for just £569 (was £599) in the Blush and Indigo colourways.
While £30 isn’t a huge discount in isolation, it’s rare to see Amazon (or any other retailer) offer a deal on a trending Apple product like this so soon after its release. The Neo was just released a few days ago, in fact.

We’ve just published our MacBook Neo review, which details why this new model is a fantastic choice for those on a budget. In short, Apple has brought many of the features we love about the higher-end MacBook Air models down to a much more appealing price point.
For one, we were genuinely surprised at how well the Apple A19 chipset in the Neo performs for most everyday tasks. For those who don’t already know, it’s the same processor used in recent iPhones, raising questions about its capability for typical laptop tasks. With only 8GB of RAM, the Neo won’t blow you away, but it’s fantastic for browsing, emails, writing, and even various editing tasks.
Despite its lower cost, the Neo does not feel cheap at all. It is constructed from the same sturdy aluminium as many of the higher-end models, and the display is quite impressive. While it has thicker bezels than some, the screen is vibrant and packed with resolution. Overall, this machine represents a great buy.
