Apple's new MacBook Neo, priced at $599/£599, features Touch ID, a fingerprint biometric system introduced with the iPhone 5s. However, it is available on the $699 model with 512GB of storage. This price increase represents a 17 percent increase, making it more difficult for buyers to consider the convenience of Touch ID. The $100 upgrade also includes a 512GB SSD that replaces the 256GB SSD, giving users twice the space to store their files. The article concludes that Touch ID is valuable as a security feature, particularly as it reduces the effort of typing usernames and passwords.
