MacBook Neo Shipments Expected to Double in 2027
Apple wants suppliers to make 16 million MacBook Neo laptops in 2027, or double the amount expected for this year, according to supply chain sources (via DigiTimes ). Apple released its first MacBook Neo in March 2026, featuring an A18 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM, and coming in Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo colors.

Apple plans to increase MacBook Neo laptop production to 16 million units in 2027, a significant 2-fold rise from current expectations, according to supply chain sources. The first MacBook Neo debuted in March 2026, equipped with an A18 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM, available in four distinct colors - Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo.
Initially priced at $599, Apple later increased the cost to $699 in June as part of a wider Mac and iPad price adjustment. A $100 discount remains available for college students and educational personnel. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman hinted at a second-generation MacBook Neo release in 2027, featuring an A19 Pro chip, 12GB of RAM, and additional color options.
However, today's report does not explicitly confirm this potential refresh. If Apple decides to introduce a new MacBook Neo in March, roughly a year after its initial launch, the forecasted supply chain figures could still hold true. During his inaugural earnings call as CEO, John Ternus noted that Apple had sold more Macs in fiscal 2026 compared to any previous year.
While Apple does not segregate Mac sales by model, the reported sources indicate that MacBook Neo shipments played a pivotal role in driving this growth.
