Key Points:
- Apple has started selling refurbished MacBook Neo units through its Certified Refurbished store, offering all four colors and two configurations at prices below the current new unit pricing.
- The base refurbished model with 256GB storage is priced at $599, while the higher-end version with Touch ID and 512GB storage starts at $679, both reflecting pre-price hike levels.
- Apple recently increased prices on the MacBook Neo and other products due to a memory chip shortage driven by high demand from AI server manufacturers, causing RAM and SSD costs to rise significantly.
- The price hikes also affected Apple's Certified Refurbished store, where prices for refurbished Macs and iPads were raised alongside new hardware increases.
- The MacBook Neo features the A18 Pro chip, 8GB of RAM, a 13-inch Liquid Retina display, and remains Apple's most affordable Mac option.
