Crystal ball: Let’s be clear upfront: there is no Mac Neo desktop. No leak, no supply chain [rumour], no analyst note. What follows is conjecture – but conjecture worth taking seriously, because the pieces are sitting right there on Apple’s workbench.

    doesn’t matter, they’re running out of chips or have run out. That was the whole purpose of the Neo line, to use up the left over crap iphone chips. If they made chips specifically for the macbook neo and possible desktop neo the things wouldn’t be as cheap as they are, it would be pointless.

    The whole point of the Neo line was the ability to sell parts that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to sell. The Macbook Neo is the Hot Dog Wiener of the computing world.

      That’s not correct.

      1. The purpose of the Neo device is to create an entry level option and get people into Apple’s ecosystem. Same as the iPhone 16e.
      2. They can just…make more chips. They are already working on the Neo successor. It wasn’t just a “one and done” product.
