Surface Laptop 13 Price Hike Dampens Appeal Versus MacBook Neo

TL;DR Summary
Windows Central pits the Surface Laptop 13-inch against the MacBook Neo after Microsoft's price hike: Surface offers longer battery life, 16GB RAM, and more ports, but starts at $1,149, making it a tougher sell next to the significantly cheaper Neo, which has a higher-resolution, brighter display and stronger single-core CPU/GPU but 8GB RAM in base configuration and fewer ports. For OS-agnostic or budget buyers, Neo is the clearer value, while Windows enthusiasts may still prefer Surface for its features despite the price.
