Both lines are the best price we recorded on each day, on one money axis. Our record for each starts when we started watching it, so a shorter line is a shorter record and not a cheaper history.

How the gap has moved

Across the 54 days we have held a price for both, the gap between them was widest at $609.01 on Sep 10 and narrowest at $400.00 on Oct 4. MacBook Neo 13" has been the cheaper of the two on every one of those days. Today it is $450.00.

Measured from our own readings, carried forward day by day — a price stands until we record a different one. It starts on the first day we held a price for both, which is later than the day we began tracking one of them.
