MacBook Neo

The neo announcement was the most obvious introduction to PC owners that I’ve ever seen I just switched my girlfriend over from a surface pro to a MacBook Pro, and the transition is more seamless than it’s ever been Apple is gonna try to take over every single market that PC has. Starting with educa

This is a slam dunk for people who need an iPad but want to run a real desktop OS. Perfect for small kids and students. It’s not designed to be docked to a monitor or high end peripherals. It’s meant for light productivity and entertainment on the couch or at a kitchen table. Perfect for non pro hom

The new MacBook Neo is equipped with two USB-C ports, but they are not the same. The left USB-C port supports USB 3 speeds of up to 10 Gb/s, while the right USB-C port closer to the trackpad is limited to USB 2 speeds of just 480 Mb/s. As a result, Apple says external display connectivity is support

Up until Tahoe, I felt every version of macOS made my Macs feel snappier and have features I wanted For me the green line was steady up and then dropped off a cliff But with the Neo, it's gonna come back around. 8gb is going to have apple refining their os to run better and hopefully Tahoe will be a

Its a knockout because it finally also fills the gap in the ipad toddler to apple adult line.

As a non-neo apple-enjoyer, I'm kinda stoked that this is going to force them to keep the goalposts low for at least a couple more years. Just because a laptop comes with 16gig, doesn't mean I want the OS to use 16 - leave some for me, damnit. The longer they have to target 8, the more of my ram is

The issue I find with sub £600 Windows laptops is that they’re not made for longevity. Those models are made for people who think they need a laptop, but in reality will use it once or twice before shelving it for a year or two. Then when they go back to it, they wonder why it’s so slow and end up b

Apple might be realizing that simple is better it’s what made them stand apart for years, the Neo feels like a through back in many ways, just laptop that you can open it and work in it, nothing extra.

It sure is a better buy than any iPad if you're just going to strap a keyboard on it anyway to get a "cheaper Apple laptop than the MacBook Air", and even though the iPad Air and Pro are more powerful in terms of hardware it all gets wasted by the chains iPadOS ties them up with anyway so the Neo is
