Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599
DireTech@sh.itjust.works 6 hours agoOk at this point it’s been 5 years since the M1 and it’s crazy people are still acting like 8GB is unusable on them. My work Mac is 8GB. So is my wife’s. I run Xcode, iOS simulator, safari, VSCode and the corporate security software at the same time without issue.
Would I want that little for video games? Hell no.
It’s still fine for the typical user. As a developer, I find the base 256GB far more of an issue since it’s impossible for me to fit multiple versions of Xcode and simulators on it simultaneously.

This is a step backwards from M1 in terms of cores, core speed and bus speed. This is not going to feel like an m1 base even.

We’ll see when the reviews hit. It’d be pretty dumb for it to be worse than an M1 when older airs get discounted down to similar prices.
