MacBook Neo 2: A19 Pro, 12GB RAM and on-device AI slated for 2027

9to5Mac reports Apple is developing a next-generation MacBook Neo (Neo 2) with an A19 Pro chip (likely a binned variant) that could push CPU speeds by ~10–15% and GPU gains up to ~40%, paired with 12GB of RAM (up from 8GB). It’s expected to unlock on-device AI features and periodic color refreshes, with a planned 2027 release. The current Neo uses the A18 Pro and 8GB RAM, so the upgrade focuses on performance, AI capabilities, and customization, per Bloomberg’s Tim Culpan.

A Decade of Planetary Defense: Gains Made, But More Skywatching Is Needed

International Asteroid Day marks 10 years of progress in defending Earth from space rocks, with nearly 40,000 near-Earth objects identified and NASA's DART mission proving a redirect of an asteroid is possible. Yet experts warn we still lack enough telescopes to spot all threats; the upcoming Near-Earth Object Surveyor aims to detect two-thirds of potentially hazardous asteroids, as events like the 2029 Apophis close approach highlight the ongoing need for vigilant skywatching.

Blue-whale-sized asteroid to skim past Earth Monday — watch it live

A near-Earth asteroid called 2026 JH2, up to 115 feet (35 meters) wide, will pass about 56,000 miles from Earth on Monday, May 18, around 6 p.m. Eastern time—closer than many satellites. Discovered May 10 at Mount Lemmon Observatory, it orbits the Sun roughly every 3.7 years. It should reach about magnitude 11.5, making it visible with a decent telescope; a livestream from the Virtual Telescope Project will let viewers watch the flyby without special gear, and there is no chance of impact.

M5 MacBook Air 13-Inch (2026): Power Up, Price Up, Neo Still Cheaper

Apple’s M5 13-inch MacBook Air arrives with a real performance boost and a higher starting price of $1,099, pushing it above the budget MacBook Neo. The M5 features a 10-core CPU/GPU, faster unified memory, Wi‑Fi 7 and a 1TB base SSD, delivering stronger Geekbench/Cinebench scores and about 17 hours of streaming battery life. However, the Neo remains a much better value for students, and many buyers will find the 15-inch Air a better overall balance of size, performance, and price. The 13-inch is still solid for design or STEM-focused users who need compact power, but it’s no longer Apple’s entry point and not the best value in the lineup.

Multiple asteroids approaching Earth at alarming speeds.

NASA has issued an alert about a massive asteroid, 2023 GF2, that is predicted to pass close to Earth on April 30. The asteroid, measuring 87 feet, is coming at a speed of 17235 kmph and will fly past Earth at a close distance of just 2.74 million miles. NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office raised a red flag for any Near Earth Object (NEO) within 4.6 million miles of Earth. It remains to be seen whether this asteroid poses a threat to Earth.

NASA tracks multiple asteroids hurtling towards Earth at alarming speeds.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has issued a warning about a 250-foot asteroid, named 2023 GG, that is expected to pass dangerously close to Earth on April 11. The asteroid will pass within 0.946 million miles of Earth, travelling at a speed of 38102 kmph. NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies is responsible for monitoring all known near-Earth objects to assess their potential impact risk and is actively researching and planning for ways to prevent or minimize the impact of a potential collision if one were to be discovered.
