MacBook NEO vs MacBook Pro M5 Pro and Max
For a consumer that needs a new laptop computer then for home use or even for office use then it makes no sense in considering anything else apart from the MacBook NEO, as how fast do you need Apple Mac Safari to open and show a website page, or how quickly you need to open Apple Mac Mail.
Recent tests by Keith Thomas using Apple Mac Mail on a £599 new Mac mini vs a Mac Pro £7000 desktop Apple Mac computer revels no difference in the outcome or performance when it comes to using for example a Google GMail email address to check for and to send and receive email messages, and the same logic will apply for the new Apple MacBook NEO laptop computer.

MacBook Neo Review UK by Keith Thomas
The MacBook Neo is the first Apple Laptop to use the Apple A18 Technology processor taken from the Apple iPhone 16 Pro, and a Apple MacBook Laptop that does not have support for a Thunderbolt USB-C connection speeds.
The MacBook Neo Trackpad does not have the touch non click feature. The MacBook Neo entry level price of £599 in the UK, and £699 for the MacBook Neo with the Touch ID keyboard sensor.
For most people who are new to Apple and will be considering their first Apple MacBook laptop computer, the finer technology specifications will not necessarily matter as the MacBook Neo will be used primarily for personal internet use and for email use.
Apple expects that most people that will choose to buy the MacBook Neo, will be new to Apple, and also might have a non Apple smartphone, or are considering a new Apple MacBook laptop computer for the first time.
The MacBook Neo laptop does not come with a power adaptor, however, a USB-C port power adaptor that has 20 watts to 70 watts is suitable to charge the MacBook Neo, and these are available from £19 for a 20 watt USB-C power adapter.
The MacBook Neo lacks fast charging, but with the 16 hours of battery use and with a suitable power adaptor and one that has a compact folding size, and can also be used to charge a iPhone, or an iPad, is easy to carry a 20w to 30w small compact USB-C power adaptor with the MacBook Neo.
MacBook Neo Performance
The MacBook Neo performance for consumers that need to use Apple Mac Safari, Apple Mac Mail, Apple Photos for Mac, and Microsoft 365 for Mac will be able to use the MacBook Neo for day to day use without problems even with the 8Gb of unified memory. However, for consumers that use Google Chrome, the Google Chrome software can use a lot of memory, and a Google ChromeBook might be the better option, especially if a Google Android smartphone is used with a Google account. But using Apple Safari to open Google.com website pages will work much better than by installing Google Chrome if Google Tabs are used to open many pages.
