MacBook Neo is still only a few months old, but it’s been a big hit for Apple. And rumors say its successor is coming next year, with MacBook Neo 2 getting the key upgrade it needs most: more RAM. MacBook Neo 2 is rumored to have 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB in the current model.\n\nWhen MacBook Neo launched earlier this year, it delivered an impressively powerful Mac at a budget-friendly price.

Unless you’re doing heavy video editing, coding apps, or running local AI models, MacBook Neo is likely more than enough computer for you. But if Apple could change just one thing, many users would ask for additional RAM.\n\nMacBook Neo has an A18 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM, but rumors suggest MacBook Neo 2 will have an A19 Pro chip with 12GB. Adding 50% more memory could make a huge difference to anyone worried about spec limitations. 8GB of RAM goes a lot further on a Mac than on PCs, and the upgraded memory will also better equip MacBook Neo 2 to run macOS 27’s new AI features—some requiring 12GB.\n\nWith 50% more memory and a more powerful chip, MacBook Neo 2 should be plenty powerful for even more users.
