Apple Was Caught Off Guard by MacBook Neo's 'Off the Charts' Demand

Apple's most affordable MacBook ever appears to be a resounding hit with customers, based on comments shared by CEO Tim Cook this week. On an earnings call on Thursday, Cook said that customer response to the MacBook Neo has been "off the charts" since the laptop was unveiled in March. "We could not be happier with how things are going at the moment," he said.

    I think Neo goes with a typical Apple premium, so it’s not cheap for what it offers, BUT:

    • Many people are ready to pay that premium, maaning other manufacturers need to go way below that mark with a similar hardware, which benefits us, and
    • This is closest we’ve seen to a netbook for a while. This is good, we need them back!

      netbook

      Damn, I haven’t heard that in a long time…and you’re completely right. It is a netbook and we do need more of those in this new world(even though I don’t like what that means(ownership of hardware or lack thereof)).
