MacBook Neo Still Seeing Extended Delivery Estimates at Apple, But Amazon and Walmart Have Stock

Apple's MacBook Neo has recently been struck by delayed delivery estimates on Apple.com, due to the notebook's booming popularity. However, both Walmart and Amazon offer deliveries as soon as tomorrow, and even feature small discounts on the Neo.

Following its launch in March, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ has become a big hit for Apple, with the company struggling to keep the computer in stock online and in Apple stores. As of writing, Apple.com quotes a 2-3 week delivery estimate on every model of the Neo in the U.S. and many other countries.

If you want to prioritize saving a bit of money, Amazon has every model of the MacBook Neo for $9 off this week. Free delivery options place the Neo arriving as soon as May 2, while Prime members can get same-day shipping on the 256GB models in many locations.

Over at Walmart, you won't find any discounts, but you will find similarly quick delivery estimates. Select locations should see delivery estimates as soon as April 28 through April 29 on every model of the ‌MacBook Neo‌. If you have Walmart+ instead of Amazon Prime, this could be a better option despite the lack of a straight cash discount.

The ‌MacBook Neo‌ is Apple's low-cost Mac, priced at $599 for the 256GB model and $699 for the 512GB model with Touch ID. Students can get the computer for even cheaper at $499 through Apple's education store on its website.

If you're shopping for the new M5 MacBook Air, Amazon is currently hosting big $150 discounts on nearly every model. Prices now start at $949.99 for the 512GB 13-inch model.

Windows 11 has made many people angry and they are switching to Linux and some to MacOS. I think Apple released the Neo at just the right time.

The only reason this product exist, is to get rid of the stock A-chips they had. Now the A-chip stock is depleted, they not gonna produce more to sell this Neo crap.
There's nothing "crap" about the Neo.

It's the best in class at its price point and it's not even remotely close.

Get into a store and check one out if you haven't.
It's really impressive what they created at the pricing here.

If a future version can do 4k/120hz in clamshell mode on an external monitor, I'll be buying one myself.

Who even buys at Walmart ?
A massive chunk of the USA.

From Wikipedia:

Walmart is the world's largest company by revenue ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_companies_by_revenue') and the largest private employer ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_United_States–based_employers_globally') in the world, with 2.1 million employees. The company is ranked one in Fortune 500 ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_500') and Fortune Global 500 ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_Global_500'). In February 2026, Walmart became the first traditional retailer to be valued at over $1 trillion ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion-dollar_company').

Always better to buy at Apple Store !
Not true whatsoever.

The exact same warranty applies at any Authorized Retailer, and return policies are quite often better than at Apple directly, not to mention the better sales prices that Apple refuses to match.

Pretty sure Apple is struggling with stock because their sales are dominated with educational discounts that the retailers cant offer.
