Apple’s MacBook Neo, the company’s first sub-$700 laptop using the A18 Pro chip and an 8 GB unified memory configuration, has driven strong trader consensus against discontinuation. Launched in March 2026 at $599, it quickly outsold higher-priced M5 MacBook Air and Pro models with over 1.1 million units shipped in its debut quarter, expanding Apple’s reach in the budget segment while earning favorable reviews for build quality, display brightness, and everyday performance. The model remains prominently listed on Apple’s site with ongoing macOS support through the September 2026 Golden Gate release and no announced end-of-life plans. High implied probability for continued sales reflects sustained demand and lack of competitive or supply-chain signals suggesting withdrawal, though realistic risks such as prolonged memory shortages or a future chip refresh could still influence longer-term availability.
