MacBook Neo lets you build a rainbow with official spare parts
TL;DR
Apple’s MacBook Neo can be colorized using spare parts sold in Apple’s Self Service Repair Store. Replacement keyboard caps, bottom case, and top case come in four colors (silver, indigo, blush pink, citrus) for extra costs on top of the $599 Neo. Part prices include bottom case ~$34.32, keyboard caps ~$39, top case ~$175.12, and a full keyboard ~$139.92 (with a $29.40 return credit). iFixit calls the Neo the most repairable MacBook in 14 years, and MacWorld notes there’s no apparent color limit on spare parts, enabling mods like storage upgrades.
