The MacBook Neo launched at a starting price of $599, with an education price of $499 that was a steal for students. That changed in June, when both retail and education prices rose by $100.
Now, Apple has increased the education price of the MacBook Neo to $649, a saving of just $50 over the standard price, and a full $150 more than its original education price.
For better deals, Apple's refurbished store offers the base model at $599. Amazon lists the M1 MacBook Air at $529, or $579 for the 256GB model. Shoppers can also track upcoming promotions on 9to5Toys.
Apple's price hikes have made the MacBook Neo less accessible to students, though refurbished and third-party options remain available.
