Apple today debuted the MacBook Neo, a $599 notebook with an A18 Pro chip, 16-hour battery life, and selection of bright colors. The MacBook Neo has the same magic keyboard as other MacBooks, but getting Touch ID is an extra charge. The base $599 MacBook Neo model has a standard keyboard withou t ‌Touch ID‌ and 256GB of storage, but if you pay $100 more, you can get 512GB of storage and a ‌Touch ID‌ button on the keyboard. There is no option to get ‌Touch ID‌ with the 256GB storage tier. There are just two pricing tiers for storage, with no other upgrade options available for the MacBook Neo. There is a $100 EDU discount, so teachers and students can get the standard Neo for $499, and the upgraded version with ‌Touch ID‌ for $599. The MacBook Neo comes in four colors, including Silver, Citrus, Blush, and Indigo. It is available for pre-order today, with a launch to follow on March 11.
