  "textContent": "Apple's second-generation MacBook Neo may not feature a touch-capable display after all, according to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.\n\n\nIn a report dated September 2025, Kuo‌ accurately predicted that the ‌MacBook Neo‌ would enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2025, noting that it would not feature a touchscreen. In the same report, however, the analyst said he believed Apple could add a touchscreen for the second-generation model, expected in 2027.\n\nKuo's latest thoughts now appear to push back against the possibility. From the report shared this morning:\n\n\n> Neo 2 was originally expected to feature a touch panel to compete with Chromebooks (50%+ of which support touch), but my latest industry checks suggest Neo 2 may not adopt it.\n\nKuo says Apple's first touchscreen Mac is still expected to launch later this year in the form of a new, high-end MacBook Pro with an OLED display and a new design. _Bloomberg_ 's Mark Gurman has suggested the machine may be positioned above Apple's existing MacBook Pro Models, and could adopt the moniker \"MacBook Ultra.\"\n\nThe all-new MacBook Neo launches today, with prices starting at $599. Kuo says shipments of the Neo are slightly lower than his prior estimates, totaling around 4.5–5 million units (with about 2–2.5 million in the first half of 2026). For a single laptop model though, that's still a very impressive number.\n\nRelated Roundup: MacBook Neo\n\nTag: Ming-Chi Kuo\n\nBuyer's Guide: MacBook Neo (Buy Now)\n\nRelated Forum: MacBook Neo\n\n\nThis article, \"MacBook Neo 2 Might Not Feature Touchscreen After All\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
