Apple’s rumored MacBook Neo, a lower-cost, colorful laptop, could launch thisweek

According to multiple reports, Apple is working on a low-cost MacBook. This would allow the company to compete with inexpensive laptops for the first time. As Apple shares news this week about its newest iPhones and MacBooks, many are wondering if we will finally see this new laptop unveiled.

If reporting from MacRumors and Bloomberg is correct, the lower-cost MacBook could be announced as soon as Wednesday. It is rumored to be released in multiple colors.

According to MacRumors, Apple accidentally posted a regulatory document on its website. That document alluded to the existence of a yet-to-be-announced device called the MacBook Neo. It is possible Apple could surprise its most dedicated leakers, but the reports point to the company releasing a low-cost Chromebook competitor.

While no concrete details have been confirmed about the new laptop in the MacBook family, it is thought to run on an iPhone chip instead of a stronger M-series chip. There are also rumors that the device could come in some fun, bright colors, like the green, blue, and yellow seen in this week’s Apple event logo.
