Apple’s MacBook Neo, launched in March 2026 as the company’s lowest-priced laptop at $599 with an A18 Pro chip and 13-inch Liquid Retina display, continues to see robust demand that underpins the 94.3% market-implied odds against discontinuation by year-end. Strong initial sales exceeding one million units prompted Apple to scale annual production toward 10–12 million, while positive reviews highlight its value for everyday tasks and Apple Intelligence features. The model remains listed on Apple’s site with ongoing color options and education pricing, and reports point to a planned 2027 refresh rather than an exit. Although rising component costs could lead to trimming the base 256 GB configuration, a full stop to sales appears unlikely absent major supply disruptions.
