Daniel Epstein on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - 'Well this is another way to get people to buy the next higher priced model in the category! Sell out of the NEO might mean many customers prefer a Mac to begin with. Considering other companies are raising prices for their non Apple computers due to Ram shortages Apple’s Mac line has a very competitively priced line up from 1200 on down. If we hear of increases in sales for other inexpensive Mac’s besides the Neo then the customers are getting into the good better best mode having been enticed by the good model. Of course from a gross revenue point of view and Apple’s size selling an additional 5 million Neo’s is not a huge revenue increase for the company. Approximately 3.5 Billion additional sales is less than a 1% increase in total revenue.'

on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - 'Looking at the benchmarks, an A19 is just a little bit faster than an A18Pro, with the same number of cores. The A19 does have some added silicon innovations allowing AI on device to be faster. Apple says they are planning for 10 million Neos this year and estimates are for 5-7 million A18Pro. So I would not be surprised to see an update on the Neo come the Fall. Just in time for Christmas.'

on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - 'Since the Neo uses binned A18 chips, Apple has a finite supply of them. Do they have another 4-5 million sitting around?

on Buyers are snapping up MacBook Neos faster than Apple can make them - 'One of my biggest frustrations when I worked in K-12 IT was Apple always seemed to make new product announcements suitable for the K-12 market after the education market fiscal year began, which is July 1st. By the time the September/October time frame came around budgets had been set, monies allocated and projects started and it was hard to deviate from that so it felt like you were buying year old technology knowing that in two months new products would be announced. With the Neo already announced and shipping, educators can plan for the new school year with the latest tech available. Good move on Apple’s part to announce the Neo with plenty of time for planning by educators.'
