MacBook Neo lands at The Loop—buy one, you might ride home on a Vespa

If your next gadget upgrade needs a little extra thrill, this one comes with two wheels.

Fresh from its global debut, the MacBook Neo has officially arrived at The Loop—and it’s not just about the laptop. For a limited time, every purchase comes with a shot at winning a brand-new Vespa S 125, turning a simple tech upgrade into something a bit more lifestyle-driven.

Available in Blush, Citrus, Indigo, and Silver, the MacBook Neo leans heavily into personality. It’s the kind of device you’d want to bring out at a café—not just for work, but for the aesthetic.

A launch with perks (and real freebies)

The April 23, 2026 launch at Ayala Center Cebu, SM City Baguio, and UP Town Center kicked things off with early bird perks. The first 10 buyers at each location walked away with up to ₱9,500 worth of freebies, including SHOKZ OpenMove bone conduction headphones, ADAM Elements 8-in-1 hubs, and premium cleaning kits.

Those who secured pre-orders earlier weren’t left out either, getting bundles worth up to ₱11,000—think HP DeskJet printers, RIVACASE laptop bags, and a 1-year Microsoft Office 365 subscription.

Even after launch weekend, there were still extras on the table. Customers who purchased from April 25 to 26 at select branches received a free 1-year Microsoft 365 subscription, giving new users a ready-to-go productivity setup from day one.

The Vespa angle

Here’s where things get interesting. Until May 31, 2026, anyone who buys a MacBook Neo from participating The Loop stores gets a chance to win a Vespa S 125.

It’s a clever pairing—sleek laptop meets iconic scooter—both built around style, mobility, and everyday usability. Not a bad combo if you’re already planning to upgrade.

Pricing that’s easy to say yes to

The MacBook Neo starts at ₱39,990 for straight payments. If you prefer to stretch it out, installment plans go as low as ₱1,666 per month for 24 months.

The Loop is also offering 0% installment options through major banks like BPI, Metrobank, RCBC, Security Bank, and UnionBank, with extended terms up to 36 months for select partners. Home Credit users can get in at around ₱41 per day.

What you’re getting with the Neo

The MacBook Neo packs a 13-inch display with sharp detail and vibrant colors, powered by Apple’s A18 Pro chip. Battery life stretches up to 16 hours, making it a reliable daily driver whether you’re working, editing, or just streaming through the day.

It’s positioned for users who want something that performs well but also looks the part—a balance that Apple has been refining for years, now made more accessible.

Where to get it

You can grab the MacBook Neo at The Loop branches nationwide, including Ayala Center Cebu, Bonifacio High Street, SM City Baguio, SM City Davao, U.P. Town Center, and more.

And if timing works in your favor, that laptop box might come with something extra—like the keys to a Vespa.

So… if you were already thinking about upgrading, would the chance to win a Vespa seal the deal?
