Cool colors. But I jumped off the Apple train after 25 years. They still charge too much for their tech. This is a turn in the right direction, but too little, too late IMHO

I'm all linux now. And it's made computers fun again.

Someday I would like to buy a MacBook and put Linux on it. Not enough to spring for the Neo though.

I paid 600USD for an m4 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and a 256GB SSD… I feel like that’s an overall better deal in every way than this new MacBook, but I suppose that was a special price. If this new MacBook hits 500 or even less (outside of educational pricing) then it’s one of the most incredible deals on an Apple computer like… ever, though.

Don't worry, they'll make it up in adapter cables before you even make it out of the apple store.

Yeah it doesn't even come with a charger, I'm hearing.
