Even Windows fans he saw MacBook Neo As an amazing buy, many say it Microsoft and other brands would be forced to respond. Microsoft has now done just that – but in a completely wrong way.
We saw the announcement of some of them yesterday a lot Microsoft Surface price increase across all models. The 13-inch version, which matches the MacBook Neo screen size, has seen a staggering 50% increase from $999 to $1,499…
Windows Center informed about the increases.
Microsoft has increased the prices of its Surface PCs in the Microsoft Store, with other retailers expected to follow soon (…) with the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 now priced $500 more than they were in 2024 (…)
The 12-inch Surface Pro, previously Microsoft’s cheapest modern Surface PC, now starts at $1,049, down from $799. Originally launched for $999, the 13-inch Surface Pro flagship now starts at $1,499.
Microsoft blames memory prices for the increases, but that’s just one factor that makes the MacBook Neo look more attractive by the day.
There are still Chromebooks for much less than the Neo, but like our sister site 9 to 5 Google says budget prices may not be enough to protect them.
A large portion of the (consumer) Chromebook market is powered by cheap, accessible, but underpowered machines that ultimately leave a sour taste in the mouths of those who use them (…)
(In the education market) we won’t know for a while whether Apple can overcome the Chromebook monopoly in the sector, but if anyone can, it’s likely that Apple can succeed where Microsoft has fallen short in recent years.
If you’re already switching platforms to upgrade from a cheap Chromebook, then switching to a Mac over Windows seems more appealing.
As we’ve noted recently, Apple isn’t immune to RAM price hikes, but at least so far, the company isn’t responding to higher prices on its Mac lineup. On the contrary, it seems so removing more expensive configurations ahead of expected improvements.
