MacBook Neo Disrupts Another Successful Competitor, the iPad Pro

Apple’s $599 MacBook Neo is being framed as a cheaper alternative to a fully equipped iPad Pro, especially once keyboard and accessory costs are included.

The laptop appears to offer stronger general-purpose computing than the tablet, which could pull buyers away from the premium iPad lineup.

Reports also suggest Apple may cancel a rumored larger iPad model as the iPad Pro continues to underperform.

If true, the shift would underline a broader move from high-end tablets toward more affordable Macs for everyday work and school.
