MacBook used to be largely repairable, upgradable things. If too many tabs slowed down macOS, you could add more RAM; if you ran out of storage, you could install a larger hard drive; if the battery was old, you could easily replace it. But as Apple—and the industry at large—chased thinner and sleeker designs, laptops in general became harder to work on. Companies started soldering all components together onto the board, which made it possible to produce thin and light machines, but made it impossible to upgrade them, and wildly impractical to repair.
The MacBook Neo is Apple's most repairable laptop in years
But there is hope for those of us that want Apple to make their devices more repairable, from a product I wouldn't have expected Apple to make all that repairable in the first place: the MacBook Neo. Apple's new, budget-friendly MacBook has been all the rage over the past week and a half, largely, in part, due to its starting price of $599 ($499 with an education discount). While that MSRP makes the Neo a great choice for students, parents, and, really, anyone who wants an affordable Mac, I imagined it would also make it more of a consumable product. Would Apple really put all that much effort into making a $500 MacBook last that long?
YouTube channel TECH RE-NU came to similar conclusions in their "speedrun" teardown. They were able to disassemble the Neo in less than 10 minutes, "which is absolutely amazing for an Apple laptop." They praised the lack of adhesives and sticky tape, and the inclusion of modular parts (including modular USB-C ports, speakers, and headphone jack) all while keeping the price down:
Now, the Neo still isn't upgradable. It infamously comes with only 8GB of RAM, and it'll run that 8GB of RAM until the day you part with it. You're also stuck with the storage size you choose at the time of purchase, so if you think you'll want more than 256GB, you'll want to opt for the 512GB model (which, conveniently, comes with Touch ID in the keyboard). If you run out of space on yours, you'll need to pick up an external drive to keep saving files locally.
Why is the MacBook Neo Apple's most repairable Mac?
If that's true, this is only a net benefit for consumers in general. Anyone who buys a MacBook Neo gets the advantage of a machine that isn't too costly to repair when it comes time. And while the A18 Pro may start to show its age sooner than a brand-new M5 chip, this policy could stretch your time with your MacBook Neo even longer.
