What is real? How do you define real?
"Can we name it Macbook One??"
"No that is used everywhere by everyone that SUCKS alright?!!!"
"Okay how about we switch place with the o and put it last instead of first?"
"..yes"

Sounds like an internal code name, I doubt they would use something that could possibly be trademarked like they did with the Mighty Mouse years ago.

It’s no sillier than MacBook Air.

MBA is $1,099. Neo or whatever it ends up being called (MacBook) will have a base storage of 256 GB with 12 GB of RAM and will be at least $799. Educational discounts will likely be offered especially for large buys.

TBF, people said the exact same thing about the MacBook Air.
And the MacBook Pro, for that matter, remember it was replacing a computer called the “PowerBook”.
Sure it is, how is it not?
I don't really see why people are pretending like the words Pro and Air are the same as Neo.

Should’ve been MacBook Nano haha
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" has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet.

Got a bad feeling its going to be $799 after the price hike for the Air today...
Same. People kept saying it can't be $799 cause the Air is $999. Well?

Totally agree! They had an opportunity to streamline their naming convention; MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro. Why WHY???

Maybe it has a Neotch?
Should have called it MacBook Minus One. That movie was quite successful.

They probably asked Siri to handle the release.

So its basically an iPad with a permanent Keyboard attached/no touch screen that runs MacOS?
Get a MacBook Air or iPad Air/Keyboard Combo.
I am still not sure where this is supposed to fit in Apple's product lineup.

Apple probably didn’t want any possible bad press / association between the original model and the new release due to the bad history of the original.
To be fair there is no plain MacBook in the lineup, so it's still just three names. I never liked the MacBook without any suffix - for me the MacBook is the family name and then Air, Pro and now Neo are the precise model identifiers. It's more logical in my head at least.
Now the 12 inch MacBook was one of my favourite ever laptops, so if this thing ends up being its spiritual successor by being super small and light I will be quite excited whatever the name.
P.S. why does everyone want a new AppleTV? What are people expecting that will bring to the party? Just curious as I use my AppleTV for 100% of my TV watching and don't really have any issues with it that would be fixed by a hardware upgrade.
