Hey WondTech readers! Big news for anyone eyeing a MacBook Neo, especially after yesterday's eyebrow-raising price increases from Apple. While most Apple products (excluding iPhones) saw their prices go up, there's a quick twist that might just make your day. What this means for you: Apple has wasted no time in offering a solution for those who felt the pinch. Just a day after the MacBook Neo's price jumped by $100 in the US, you can now grab a refurbished model directly from Apple's store at its old, pre-hike price! Let's break it down. If you were looking at the entry-level MacBook Neo, the one with 256GB of storage and without Touch ID, its price had gone up. But now, a refurbished version of this exact model is available for $599. Sound familiar? That's because $599 was the original price for a brand-new MacBook Neo of the same configuration before the price hike. So, you're essentially getting the previous price, but for a refurbished unit. And it gets even better for those wanting more power. The MacBook Neo variant with 512GB of storage and Touch ID is also in the refurbished store. This model is now priced at $679. Here's the kicker: this is actually $20 less than what a brand-new version of this configuration cost before yesterday's price increase! That's a nice little bonus if you were planning to upgrade. So, if you're comfortable with a refurbished device – which, coming directly from Apple, usually means it's thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and often comes with a new battery and outer shell, plus Apple's standard warranty – this is a fantastic opportunity. You can bypass the recent price increase and get your hands on a MacBook Neo without paying the premium. It's a quick turnaround from Apple, giving consumers a chance to save some cash while still getting a quality product. Happy shopping!
