For years, Apple laptops have been known for premium performance—and premium prices. But during this week’s Talking Tech segment on KMSB Fox 11, Andy Taylor showcased a new option designed to make the Mac experience more affordable: the MacBook Neo.
Starting at just $699, the MacBook Neo is aimed at students, families, first-time Mac users, and anyone considering making the switch from Windows. Featuring a bright 13-inch Retina display, lightweight design, up to 16 hours of battery life, and Apple’s efficient A18 processor, the Neo delivers plenty of performance for everyday computing tasks including web browsing, email, office work, social media, streaming, and light content creation.
Andy also highlighted one of Apple’s biggest strengths—its seamless integration with the iPhone. Users can access Messages, share files effortlessly, and enjoy the growing capabilities of Apple Intelligence and Siri, creating a connected ecosystem that works together right out of the box.
While the MacBook Neo includes two USB-C ports, modern laptops often require adapters for legacy accessories and additional peripherals. That’s where the EZQuest USB-C Hub comes in. The compact hub dramatically expands the laptop’s connectivity, allowing users to connect USB devices, external storage, monitors, SD cards, wired networking, and even external optical drives through a single connection. It’s an ideal companion for students, professionals, photographers, and anyone who regularly works with multiple devices.

Andy noted that while power users editing large video projects may still prefer stepping up to a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, the MacBook Neo offers an impressive balance of portability, battery life, and affordability. Combined with the versatility of the EZQuest hub, it becomes a capable everyday workstation that can grow with your needs.
Whether you’re returning to the Mac platform, buying your first Apple computer, or simply looking for a reliable laptop without spending well over a thousand dollars, the MacBook Neo proves that Apple computing is becoming more accessible than ever. Check out the Full Show at TechtalkRadio.com
