Apple's $599 MacBook Neo hands-on: The budget laptop we've all been waiting for?
When oil is expensive, it tends to make everyday items cost more. This can be related to energy (your heating, gas utilities, etc.), but it’s also due to the logistics involved with making those items accessible to you. Shipping, for example, can affect the price of things at the grocery store, as it’s more expensive to get those products from warehouses and farms onto the shelf.

Well, the answer to why the MacBook Neo is so cheap lies largely with the fact that it's powered by Apple's A18 Pro chip—the same processor inside the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. iPads have used Mac chips for years, but now a MacBook is running an iPhone chip. Using an iPhone chip is way cheaper, thanks to the iPhone's enormous scale. Other savings come in the form of a mechanical (not haptic) multi-touch trackpad, a non-backlit keyboard, fewer ports, and only 8 GB of RAM (non-upgradeable).
