MacBook Neo

I hated having to go through the process of pissing on my Mac to yellow the keys so I’m really glad Apple finally changed this with the citrus Neo!

Just a few interesting choices on features. I think they’re all justifiable considering how affordable the Neo is, but people may not have spotted: No Force Touch trackpad No MagSafe Power No power brick as standard (as with all other Apple laptops now, complying with EU regulation).

Ever since I got the 12” fanless MacBook back in 2016, I was completely sold on fanless laptops for my personal laptop at home. You don’t realize how annoying laptop fans can be until you use a laptop without them. Even the quiet ones… I can still hear the high pitched sound… bleh After my MacBook h

You know, I've been thinking about this thing for the last few days. And the reality is, Apple just has so much brand equity, and so many people prefer Mac to Windows, that there's really nothing a windows laptop maker can do to beat it.

I was always an Apple hater but the way they manage to revive themselves over and over is something to take note of Keeping in mind Silicon is IMO their first great innovation since Jobs was alive and th

Windows switcher checking in. Got the Neo yesterday. Best $ I have ever spent. This thing does everything better than I expected, lots better. For gaming I use GeForce Now on my laptops anyway. I got a 17e upgrading from the 13 mini and a Neo for less than 1 iPhone 17 pro. Apple killing it. I was sc

It's obvious this laptop is plenty capable even though a loud minority thinks you need 64gb of ram to open Chrome. Nice design, sturdy, good price - I would have LOVED this thing in college. The existence of this entry level spec is going to do wonders for the longterm affordability/accessibility of
