The Apple MacBook Air has been a show-stopper since it first burt onto the scene nearly two decades ago. Since then, Apple has continued to impress with this model, offering tons of power in a svelte package. This 13-inch model is no joke, coming in at under a half an inch. It's also pretty lightweight at 2.8 pounds. It features a beautiful 13.6-inch screen along with a powerful Apple M3 chip paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. You also get impressive battery life, coming in at up to 18 hours. When it comes to ports, you're looking at two USB-C Thunderbolt ports, a 3.5mm audio ja

Zac also offered a brief comparison to the $599 MacBook Neo in his article, noting that Dell actually had Apple's laptop readily available next to each XPS 13 in the product showroom.

A still well-equipped system for closer to $2,000

Apple's MacBook Neo is a near-perfect laptop for student life and student budgets. It costs just $499 with Apple’s student discount and offers a premium MacBook design, a display that’s hardly any smaller than the MacBook Air’s and enough performance for the majority of students. You just don't see this level of build quality and design at this price. I'm willing to live without most of the features the Neo lacks because it costs $500 less than the cheapest MacBook Air. And, sure, its iPhone processor isn't as powerful as the M5 chip in the new MacBook Air, and it comes with only 8GB of RAM, b
