Apple's newly announced MacBook Neo, its most affordable laptop ever at $599, comes with significantly lower repair costs than any other Mac—AppleCare+ screen repairs cost just $49 versus $99 for other models, and accidental damage fees are halved at $149 versus $299. However, the budget laptop's limited repairability, non-upgradeable 8GB RAM, and uncertain self-service repair support raise questions about long-term ownership costs even as Apple targets Chromebook and budget Windows users.
