Comment on Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo'

  That Celeron ain’t got nothing on any phone processor Apple’s made in at least the last half decade lol

  I’m not sure the Macbook Neo will make sense, but I know for sure that docked tablet doesn’t. They’re also ass to repair, performance doesn’t exist and the screen belongs in 2008.

    A fancy processor is meaningless without RAM. It’s like a Lamborghini rolling on bicycle tires.

      And RAM is meaningless without a processor to use it. So I’m saying this MacBook Neo is probably kinda shit for its’ price, but the Stream is for sure not any good.

      For the price of the MacBook Neo, the best device to get would actually be a used laptop. Either an Apple Silicon Macbook Air if you can find one with 16 GB, or some kind of a Thinkpad if you want to have more freedom.

      Cheap laptops tend to suck, but used laptops in the same price range can be very good.

  Now that the neo has been announced at $499 for students with twice the storage of your example, care to reevaluate the overall value differences?

    At $500 it’s not a bad value. Could still do better on the used market.

  You’re not wrong shut the rest, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the processor benchmarks really well.

    The processor isn’t the problem.

      That’s why I commented on you including it in what I could only read as a list of objectionable things.
