Apple has launched the MacBook Neo, a lower-priced laptop aimed at capturing a larger share of the personal computer market, where Apple currently holds less than 1%. Bank of America values the total market for Neo at $32 billion in 2026 and believes gaining just 10% market share could add $0.03 to Apple's earnings per share. The Neo starts at $499, significantly cheaper than previous MacBooks, potentially attracting first-time Mac users and boosting engagement with Apple's ecosystem. Despite the launch, Bank of America maintains its $320 price target for Apple shares, citing other growth drivers like AI integration and foldable devices.
