Apple prepares new MacBook Neo with more RAM and color options, report says - Mashable

What the report says

Mashable reports that Apple is preparing a broad update across much of its Mac lineup, citing a new Bloomberg report from Mark Gurman. The article says the plans include a next-generation MacBook Neo, Apple’s entry-level laptop, with more memory, an updated A19 Pro chip and additional color choices. Mashable frames the refresh as a response to the Neo’s strong launch and its role as a lower-cost MacBook option.

The report also notes that the MacBook Neo’s price has risen since launch, from a stated $599 starting point to $699, with education pricing previously as low as $499. Mashable suggests upgraded specifications could help justify the higher entry price, while noting the possibility that older models may see discounts during sales events. That assessment is presented as market context rather than a confirmed Apple plan.

Beyond the Neo, Mashable says Bloomberg’s reporting points to a long-rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro with OLED displays, potentially targeted for October 2026 and powered by M5 Pro chips. More advanced MacBook versions could follow in 2027 or early 2028, according to the article. Mashable adds that memory supply pressures may affect pricing for future laptops, citing supply chain experts it has previously spoken with.

Other reported updates include a lower-end MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, a possible MacBook Air refresh and redesign, new Mac Mini models using M5 Pro and M6 chips, Mac Studio updates, and changes to the iMac line. Apple has not been quoted in the provided article confirming these products, so the details remain based on Bloomberg’s reporting as relayed by Mashable.
