At $399, Apple’s Unconfirmed Mac Neo Targets Windows Users

Apple is reportedly working on an unconfirmed budget desktop called the Mac Neo, positioned as a cheaper alternative to the Mac Mini.

The rumored device would use a fanless, minimalist design and offer basic macOS performance for students, home users, and first-time Mac buyers.

Speculation points to an A18 Pro or A19 Pro chip, 8 GB to 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB to 512 GB of storage, and ports like USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and Ethernet.

The expected starting price is around $399, potentially lower with education discounts, which would make it Apple’s cheapest desktop yet.
