Apple Adds Refurbished MacBook Neo, but Amazon Has Cheaper New Models

Apple has added the MacBook Neo to its Certified Refurbished store after a price hike to $699 for the base model, with 256GB at $599 and 512GB + Touch ID at $679. Meanwhile, Amazon has newer MacBook Neo units listed for $589 (256GB) and $689 (512GB + Touch ID), making the new models cheaper or only slightly more expensive than Apple’s refurbished options. The piece ultimately suggests opting for a brand-new MacBook Neo on Amazon if you want freshness and a minimal price delta, noting that refurbished stock can vary and prices can change.
