Storage and Magic Keyboard with Lock Key or Touch ID. Choose your configuration.

Mac uses fast SSD storage for your apps, documents, photos, movies, music, and other files and libraries.

How much storage you need depends on how you use your Mac. The more storage you have, the more files your Mac can hold. A good way to figure out your storage needs is to check how much you’re using on your current computer. If you’re near your limit, it’s a good idea to consider a larger capacity.

MacBook Neo has a Magic Keyboard with a Lock Key, which lets you lock and wake your screen, or power your laptop on and off.

You also have the option of getting MacBook Neo with Magic Keyboard and Touch ID, letting you unlock your Mac, sign in to apps, and authorize payments with the touch of your finger.

256GB SSD Storage

256GB model includes Magic Keyboard with Lock Key

512GB SSD Storage

512GB model includes Magic Keyboard with Touch ID

Storage can’t be upgraded later. If you think you’ll need additional storage in the future, choose a higher capacity.
