MacBook Neo has a thermal protection over the chip

I did a similar copper shim mod on my MacBook Air 2019 back then, it helped with the temps a lot but it made it strictly not a “lap”top. There is a reason why there is an air gap, and it is for not literally burning you or cooking your skin.

Come on Adam, that is not normal for a $1,999 laptop.

MacBook Air's display is not that thin though. This is another level. Evidently the compromises to make it this thin might be a little too much.

If It Won't 📒 Fit...I Can't Buy It! 👜

Yeah but I have a 15 inch MacBook Air which I regret the size so much since most nice bags don’t fit that and I’m quite petite so I don’t really wanna carry a sacking around.🫠

HP laptop pricing is so out of control, management wants us to look at deploying Mac

You can't compare a laptop designed for 40 hours a week of business use, to what is essentially a cell phone in a laptop form factor called the MacBook Neo. If you want to go that route, you can grab an Asus from Microcenter for $500 and save an extra $100 from the Neo! MacBook Air 13" (tiny, IMHO)

Do you prefer the old design or the new design?

I think the MacBook air and MacBook pro existing at the same time doesn't make much sense to me at this point, especially with the mbn out. The peofrmance difference, size difference, and thickness doesn't really scream "air" to me, so I doesn't make sense to have both... Back in the day, sure, getc
