Apple Increases MacBook Neo Education Pricing for Second Time

Students hoping to secure an entry-level MacBook Neo are facing a steeper bill as Apple has raised the education store price by another $50. The base model now retails for $649 through the student portal, marking a significant departure from the aggressive pricing strategy that defined the laptop's launch earlier this year.

Apple Increases MacBook Neo Education Pricing for Second Time

When the MacBook Neo debuted in March, it arrived with a $599 price tag, further sweetened by a $100 education discount that dropped the cost to $499. That initial pricing structure proved highly popular, though Apple moved to tighten eligibility requirements in May by closing a loophole that allowed non-students to access the lower rates.

Following a broader price adjustment across Apple’s hardware lineup in June, the retail cost for the base model climbed to $699. This latest increase pushes the education price to $649, meaning the laptop now costs $150 more for students than it did at its release eight months ago. Despite the repeated hikes, the device remains a central part of Apple's budget-conscious laptop strategy.
