Briefings

Apple increased the MacBook Neo student pricing by $150, raising the starting price from $499 to $649. This follows a $50 price increase in October 2025 and a $100 increase in June 2025, making the student deal $50 cheaper than the standard $100 discount. The new base configuration includes 256GB storage and 8GB RAM without Touch ID, marking a significant reduction in the device's initial selling point.

Key points

• The MacBook Neo student pricing increased by $150, raising the starting price from $499 to $649.
• The new base configuration includes 256GB storage and 8GB RAM without Touch ID.

Context

Apple's MacBook Neo student pricing has increased across multiple periods, with the most recent $150 hike in October 2025 following a $50 increase in October 2025 and a $100 increase in June 2025. The device's initial $499 student price was its biggest selling point when launched in March 2025, but this perk has been steadily eroding.
