Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’m sure Asahi support will be available soon. If these has 16gb of memory, I’d seriously consider it. Even with the global AI-fabricated RAM shortage, 8GB hasn’t been a reasonable foundation for over a decade.

I think TouchID isn’t a priority for them, but looking at the supported M1 and M2 devices and features, it seems like it could be a daily driver. It has things I never got to work on my first Linux laptop (webcam, microphone, speakers, suspend, keyboard backlight, wifi, bluetooth), although it’s 2026 so those are basically all expected. No thunderbolt, touchID, or display port alt mode, though, does make it a step behind MacOS, with some doubts it’ll ever fully catch up even on this 5-6 year old hardware.
Still, these were very popular devices, so I think they’ll stay on the used market for a long time. I might pick one up if it’s cheap enough.
