The MacBook Neo, Apple's budget laptop launched in March, has seen three price increases for education customers. Starting at $499, it rose $100 in June and another $50 recently, now reaching $649—just $50 below the regular $699 starting price. The base configuration includes 256GB storage and 8GB RAM without Touch ID. The tightening discount undermines the device's key competitive advantage when it debuted.

Key points

  • MacBook Neo education price raised to $649 ($150 above launch price)
  • Student discount shrunk from $100 to $50 off regular price
  • Two cumulative price hikes since June compound erosion of value
