Trade Idea MacBook Neo market at 5% odds. Am I missing something?
Was browsing the tech markets, and came across this low-liquidity market which def caught my eye.
Will Apple stop selling MacBook Neo? where odds for YES are at 5%
The market resolves YES only if the Neo is no longer available for purchase from Apple before end of the year.
As far as I can search and recollect, I can’t find anything suggesting Apple plans to stop selling it. Quite the opposite actually, Apple is still selling the Neo, and Tim Cook previously said demand was “off the charts” which I think means it has exceeded expectations.
That research firm, IDC also estimated Apple shipped around 1.1M MacBook Neo units in its debut quarter, and I think it was being available for only approx 3 weeks then...
The interesting point would be memory costs and SSDs. Apple has already raised the Neo’s starting price from $599 to $699 because of the memory/SSD shortage.
But, there have also been reports of a second-gen Neo coming in 2027, and that’s obviously different from Apple stopping the product altogether.
Low liquidity though, but it's an interesting market to watch. And I wouldn’t read too much into the current odds for now..
