The end of Post-PC era
People seriously overestimate what they need in a computer. I’ve worked in IT for about 20 years, and a lot of the “upgrades” people make seem less about necessity and more about bragging rights. Meanwhile, I’m over here happily using a 10-year-old 27-inch iMac that still does everything I actually

Mac Trade-Ins Surge Amid MacBook Neo Launch
suggesting that customers are upgrading to the MacBook Neo and the M5 MacBook Air, rather than the new MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. I'm expecting the Neo will actually cannibalize sales of other Macs, as Apple customers had no other device to choose from until now. Those who

Apple Chip Chief Tells Staff He's Not Leaving 'Anytime Soon'
The fact I can game on my MacBook Air is wild to me. No, it’s not a gaming laptop, and I’d never say it was, but it has surprised me time and time again for being able to handle whatever I throw at it

i used to play A TON of Counterstrike on my MacBook Air. It was fine. But never dared to run it on anything but low specs.

I've reviewed hundreds of budget laptops, and the Apple MacBook Neo blows them all away
