The Q1 numbers are in, and the MacBook Neo is officially a certified hit. While the rest of the PC world grew at 4%, Apple skyrocketed by 12.7%, proving that a “Budget Pro” Mac was exactly what the world wanted. 
But there’s a catch: #Memflation. Global memory and SSD prices are spiraling due to the AI boom, and Gartner is warning of massive price hikes across the board starting next month. If you’ve been eyeing a Neo for school or side-hustles, the “Golden Window” to buy at $599 (or $499 with that student discount!) is closing fast. 
Is the MacBook Neo the new “Student Standard,” or are you holding out for the M5 Air? Let’s talk setups in the comments.
