AppleInsider reports on new configurations of the black and white MacBook models in Apple's retail stores. Each is said to be 2.0GHz with 1GB of RAM, 80GB hard drive, and a SuperDrive, with the black MacBook dubbed the "MacBook Ultimate" and prices of $1,449 USD (white) and $1,599 USD (black).
Current 13" MacBook offerings in the online Apple Store remain $1,099 USD (white, 1.83GHz, 512MB, 60GB, Combo drive), $1,299 USD (white, 2.0GHz, 512MB, 60GB, SuperDrive), and $1,499 USD (black, 2.0GHz, 512MB, 80GB, SuperDrive).AppleInsider also speculates on the release of a new "high-end hardware offering," possibly based on Intel's Woodcrest (Xeon 5100) processor, after the U.S. Independence Day holiday.
Benchmarks for the new MacBook Neo surfaced today, and unsurprisingly, CPU performance is almost identical to the iPhone 16 Pro. The MacBook Neo uses the same 6-core A18 Pro chip that was first introduced in the iPhone 16 Pro, but it has one fewer GPU core.
The MacBook Neo earned a single-core score of 3461 and a multi-core score of 8668, along with a Metal score of 31286.
