I've seen a few reports about the MacBook Neo coming as a shock to computer makers.
Is it because it's only a little more expensive than the rest of the industry charges for mediocre laptop computers?
The MacBook Neo is a decent entry level laptop computer. There are a lot of savings leading to compromises versus typical MacBook Air or MacBook Pro computers.
Are there people who want e-mail and web browsing machines that don't do much else because of hardware limitations? I remember thinking that was why there were Linux distributions, and 20 years later, I'm still wondering why Linux hasn't taken that place.
When I see Google Chromebooks, I see Intel Pentium-related processors. It's surprising how they're still alive. Weren't Chromebooks supposed to go away, replaced with Android for the desktop?
Windows 11 is so fat that they need a slimmed-down version to fit on low-end machines. My ASUS machine has a Ryzen 7 5800H and Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti (notebook edition), and with every Windows 11 update, it seems to become more feeble.
The MacBook Neo benchmarks seem quite good, faster than my M1 MacBook Air in some cases.
With the MacBook Neo, will Apple somehow dominate in the low-end market for laptop computers, especially using a System-on-a-Chip (A18 Pro) that comes from a phone?
