Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

Maybe it’s just a literal bomb to everyone involved in decision making and now making the waves in the news.
It’s also quite unexpected, given that it’s Apple, and they’ve traditionally made more expensive machines, with worse hardware. In my country, for example, it is nearly unheard of for a new Apple computer to cost less than four digits/US$800+.
Particularly at a time when it’s more typical to hear of new computer prices going up instead, due to shortages.
I was very surprised to hear how reasonable (to some degree lol) the iPhone and macbook was priced.
Very hard to deny that they are very interestingly priced.

It could be.
But I don’t see any other PC/laptop reviews by this author. He writes mostly about cybersecurity. And his Neo articles seem a bit…biased. Compare to his other articles, which are well-researched. Example:
csoonline.com/…/wannacry-explained-a-perfect-rans…
My guess is either someone is posting articles in his name, or he’s taking a free Neo in return for a positive review.

Maybe just a bit of both.
And a bit of both for that as well.
