苹果在2026财年第三季度财报电话会议中披露,MacBook Neo笔记本在美国K-12教育市场增长迅速,正在大规模替代Windows笔记本和谷歌Chromebook[1]。上一季度购买的MacBook Neo中,有一半用于替换这两类设备[1]。
多所美国学区已完成或正在进行大规模迁移。佛罗里达州皮涅拉斯学区将其18所高中的2.5万名学生从Windows设备转向MacBook Neo[1],华盛顿州半岛学区实现8000名学生从Chromebook的迁移[1],俄克拉荷马州米德-德尔学区则购置了超6000台MacBook Neo[1]。苹果表示MacBook Air M1能在六年后仍流畅完成网页浏览、文字处理、学习应用和考试平台的使用[1]。
Apple disclosed during its fiscal 2026 third-quarter earnings call that MacBook Neo laptops are experiencing strong adoption in the American K-12 education market, with approximately half of last quarter's MacBook Neo purchases intended to replace Windows notebooks or Google Chromebooks.[1]
Several school districts have undertaken large-scale device migrations. Pinellas County Schools in Florida transitioned 25,000 students across 18 high schools from Windows devices to MacBook Neo, while Peninsula School District in Washington moved 8,000 students from Chromebook to the Apple platform.[1] Additionally, Mid-Del School District in Oklahoma purchased more than 6,000 MacBook Neo units.[1]
The company noted that MacBook Air M1 models continue to perform adequately for educational workloads even six years after initial deployment, handling web browsing, word processing, learning applications, and exam platforms smoothly.[1]
