Updated MacBook Neo Expected to Launch at Higher Price, Narrowing Gap with MacBook Air

Apple's updated MacBook Neo, reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, will move to the A19 Pro chip with a possible RAM increase from 8GB to 12GB. Apple may drop the 256GB entry tier, and component shortages are expected to raise pricing. The combined effect could narrow the Neo's price gap with Apple's M-series MacBook Air, whose laptop-class silicon is purpose-built rather than phone-derived.
