Available in Blush, Citrus, Indigo, and Silver, the MacBook Neo is powered by the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone, and features a 13-inch display, up to 512GB of storage, and 8GB of non-configurable RAM.<\/p>\n<p>AirPods Max 2 have minor improvements over the previous AirPods Max, including the Apple H2 chip, increased active noise cancellation, improved sound quality, and features such as Adaptive Audio, Conversational Awareness, Voice Separation, and Live Translation.
