Apple has introduced the MacBook Neo, a new entry-level laptop designed to bring macOS to a much wider audience. Positioned below the MacBook Air, the device marks Apple’s first attempt in years to launch a truly affordable MacBook instead of relying on older models to fill the budget segment. The laptop debuted during Apple’s March product announcements alongside the new M5 MacBook Air and updated MacBook Pro models powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The MacBook Neo starts at around $599, making it the cheapest MacBook Apple currently sells through its official stores. The device features a…
Apple has introduced the MacBook Neo, a new entry-level laptop designed to make macOS more accessible to a wider audience. Starting at $599, the device is the cheapest MacBook the company has released in years and is aimed at students, first-time Mac users, and buyers considering Chromebooks or lower-end Windows laptops. The laptop marks a notable shift in Apple’s strategy. Instead of relying on older models like the 2020 M1 MacBook Air to serve as a budget option, Apple has launched a dedicated lower-cost MacBook designed specifically for price-sensitive markets. The Neo features a 13-inch display, 8GB of RAM, and…
Apple launching a truly affordable MacBook was something many had been waiting for. The MacBook Neo was announced with a starting price of $599, making it the most accessible entry point into the MacBook lineup. At first glance, it sounds like a dream device for students, casual users, and anyone who wants macOS without spending nearly a thousand dollars. But once you dig into the details, it becomes clear that Apple cut a few too many corners to hit that price tag. Some of these compromises make an older MacBook Air, especially the M4 model, a far better long-term buy.…
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has just hit the market, and the perceptions are divided. Irrespective of the debate around it, I had already made up my mind to make the upgrade. But over the course of the past few days, since its launch, the fine print and a few unexpected cuts got exposed. And ultimately, they convinced me to sit this one out. Having spent days going through all its upgrades and downgrades – yes, there are many – I decided to skip this update with a heavy heart after all the early enthusiasm. If you, too, are planning to…

For years, Apple has leaned on student discounts to lower the barrier to entry during college and quietly funnel the next generation of phone, tablet, and laptop buyers into its ecosystem. The newly launched MacBook Neo feels like the next evolution of that strategy. Despite all its shortcomings, the Neo’s more affordable price tag makes the jump into macOS easier to justify for students who would otherwise default to cheap Windows laptops or Chromebooks. If Apple’s long-term game is to lock in loyalty early, the MacBook Neo might just be the perfect bait to catch them young. Hook: The price…
Android phones now let you personalize how you appear on a call with the Calling Card feature in the Google Phone app. Instead of a basic contact photo, you can create a full screen visual card that appears during calls.

The feature is part of a recent update to the Phone app and works on devices running version 182 and above. Once a calling card is created, the image and text style…

Soon after Google gave us our first glimpse of the Pixel 10a, it attracted plenty of heat. Looks identical to its predecessor. A no-upgrade chip situation. A similar status for the camera. And display. And battery. That’s a lot to take in. It’s almost as if Google pulled an Apple. And somehow, did worse. But there’s more to this phone than meets the eye. I have only had the chance to push it as my daily driver for a week, which is not enough for a full review. But that spell still gave me enough encouragement to keep driving it…
