Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday. A regulatory document for a "MacBook Neo" (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet. While the PDF file does not contain the "MacBook Neo" name, it briefly appeared in a link on Apple's regulatory website for EU compliance purposes.

here's a whole ass laptop for $360

You’re absolutely right, that is an ass laptop.

Almost as ass as a an irreparable, unupgradeable $700 Macbook with a phone processor and 8GB of RAM.

That Celeron ain't got nothing on any phone processor Apple's made in at least the last half decade lol

I'm not sure the Macbook Neo will make sense, but I know for sure that docked tablet doesn't. They're also ass to repair, performance doesn't exist and the screen belongs in 2008.

A fancy processor is meaningless without RAM. It's like a Lamborghini rolling on bicycle tires.
