Apple has increased the MacBook Neo’s starting price on its Education Store to $649, according to The Verge. That is $150 more than the laptop’s original education price of $499.

The latest change adds $50 to the student price, following a $100 increase in June. The Verge notes that MacRumors previously reported on the earlier pricing changes.

At $649, the MacBook Neo is now discounted by $50 through Apple’s education storefront, leaving students with a smaller discount than when the device launched.
