I tested three Windows laptops in the MacBook Neo’s price range — there’s no contest

Three Windows laptops were tested in the MacBook Neo's price range.

MacBook Neo costs $599, or $499 for students and teachers.

It is a 13-inch, 2.7-pound all-aluminum laptop with an A18 Pro chip, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage.

The Windows models were Asus Vivobook 16, Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x, and Acer Aspire 14 AI.

Dell and HP did not have current models to send.
