According to GearbestTechnology, MacBook Neo 2 is expected to be equipped with the A19 Pro chip, and the unified memory will be upgraded from 8GB to 12GB in the existing model, increasing the capacity by 50%. This change will directly improve the AI ​​processing capabilities of the device. Rumor has it that after this memory upgrade, MacBook Neo 2 is expected to be adapted to Apple’s self-developed end-side AI model AFM 3 Core Advanced, which has a parameter size of approximately 20 billion and is specially optimized for Apple Silicon chips. If the adaptation is completed, the model will support more natural voice reading, advanced voice input, local high-speed AI processing, enhanced generative AI and other functions. However, these functions are currently limited to 8GB of memory and cannot run on the existing MacBook Neo.

In addition to AI performance, the CPU and GPU performance of MacBook Neo 2 will also be improved. At the same time, the A19 Pro chip is expected to bring better power consumption performance. With the next generation macOS 27 system, it can realize the optimization of AI functions and the overall system.

The existing MacBook Neo starts at 4,599 yuan, making it Apple’s lowest-priced notebook product. If MacBook Neo 2 maintains a similar pricing strategy, it will become the lowest-priced high-end end-side AI device in Apple’s product lineup.
