The MacBook Neo might be a creator's dream — hear me out

No, Apple’s brand-new entry-level MacBook Neo doesn’t get the latest and greatest Apple Silicon, the most RAM, or the best display. It likely can’t run Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro X without a few speed bumps.

But with its focus on everyday use, the plenty-capable A18 Pro chip under the hood, and the same build of macOS 26 as the rest of the Mac lineup, I think there’s a case to be made that it might actually be a creator’s dream.

Why? It comes down to three things: design, the Apple ecosystem, and the ever-growing list of macOS features.
