Apple debuted its newest — and cheapest — MacBook on Wednesday, finishing a three-day stretch of new hardware announcements that also featured a new iPhone 17e, iPad Air, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

The MacBook Neo is priced at just $599, the same as the iPhone 17e that debuted Monday. It’s an aggressive push into the budget-laptop category by Apple AAPL, as its previously lowest-priced laptop retailed for $999.
