Apple MacBook Neo emerges as company's most repairable laptop in more than a decade

Apple's newly announced MacBook Neo starts at $499 for students and, per an iFixit analysis, is the most repairable Apple laptop released since 2014. Improved repairability and the sub-$500 student price point could enhance the product's sustainability credentials and attractiveness to education/price-sensitive buyers, but are unlikely to materially move near-term revenue or Apple's stock.
