I review laptops for a living — here’s 7 Prime Day MacBook deals I recommend

Yes, it's just $10 off, but the MacBook Neo is already a steal. It sports a 13-inch Liquid Retina (2408 x 1506) display, an A18 Pro chipset, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera. There's also the option to add TouchID and a 512GB SSD for a low price. The 2.7-pound laptop is available in Indigo, Blush, Citrus, and Silver. In our MacBook Neo review, we said no other laptop comes close to the Neo in terms of bang for your buck.

This upgraded version of the MacBook Neo sports a larger 512GB SSD and includes Touch ID. It's a modest $10 off at the moment, but it's the only deal we've seen on the MacBook Neo so far.
