May has arrived, so let’s check in with MacBook Neo inventory for the new month. In April, Apple sold through its online inventory for the month after just 15 days. For May, Apple is starting out the month with MacBook Neo shipping estimates ranging from May 18 to May 26.
Apple doesn’t appear to be catching up with MacBook Neo demand anytime soon
In‑store stock vs. delivery dates
The quickest way to buy a MacBook Neo from Apple continues to be lucking out with in‑store stock. While delivery dates keep pushing back daily, in‑store pickup options change throughout the month.
Amazon discounts and early arrivals
- Amazon offers $10 off the $599 price.
- Models in citrus, indigo, and blush are arriving as soon as May 3.
- Other models are promised for around the middle of the month.
Walmart availability
Walmart appears to be the best place to find silver MacBook Neo inventory with overnight delivery options.
Launch background
- Apple unveiled the MacBook Neo on March 4, opening pre‑orders shortly after the announcement.
- The device arrived in stores one week later on March 11.
- Launch inventory quickly sold out, and Apple hasn’t caught up with demand since.
The MacBook Neo comes in four colors (silver, blush, citrus, and indigo) and two storage configurations (256 GB or 512 GB) with Touch ID.
CEO comments
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the Mac “had its best launch week ever for first‑time Mac customers” after the MacBook Neo arrived. He added that customer response to the Neo has been “just off the charts” during yesterday’s earnings call.
