Not much point for it anymore with the way Apple silicon works. Not putting in graphics cards, it doesn’t really use PCIe, RAM is on the chip. Internal storage drives seem like the only real benefit anymore and that’s probably not worth the cost.
I hear the Neo is more repairable than a lot of macs, but the whole idea of "everything on one chip" still feels like an anti-feature.
User replaceable components come at a performance costs. Everything in tech is a trade-off.
