| Boilerpipe Text | š» Apple just leaked the name of an upcoming MacBook
š On a regulatory page on the companyās website, Apple listed the unannounced āMacBook Neoā
ā It got taken down almost instantly, but that didnāt stop people from seeing it
š° This could be the rumored budget-friendly MacBook thatās said to come with an iPhone chip
š£ļø Apple might announce the laptop this week during its flurry of announcements
Apple might have just confirmed the name of its upcoming budget-friendly MacBook. The āMacBook Neoā briefly appeared on a
regulatory page
on the companyās website, as spotted by
MacRumors
. However, it disappeared just as quickly as it popped up, and itās been completely wiped from Appleās site. That didnāt stop people from seeing it, though, as the screenshot below proves.

Apple MacBook Air M5 announced: faster, more storage, and a higher price
While no specs or other information were shared, MacBook Neo could be the name of Appleās upcoming entry-level MacBook. The company has been rumored to be working on a new, cheaper laptop that would appeal to students and those who might not need the power of a MacBook Air or Pro.
According to reports, the laptop will be powered by Appleās A18 Pro or A19 Pro processor, which benchmarks above Appleās own M1 and M2 chips. Itāll reportedly run macOS and all the apps available on it, and come in a bunch of vibrant colors. The design will reportedly be smaller than the current MacBook Air, which has a 13.6-inch screen.
As of now, we donāt know how much the laptop will cost or what its exact specs will be. However, we could know everything about it as soon as tomorrow; Apple is hosting its āspecial experienceā for media, and Tim Cook promised a big week of announcements. Weāve already seen the
iPhone 17e
, iPad Air M4,
MacBook Air M5
, and
MacBook Pro M5 Pro/Max
. A cheap MacBook could be the device to round everything off, so weāll have to keep our eyes peeled.
