Tech bros are lying to you about the MacBook Neo
"i don't care what anyone says, but the MacBook Neo is not worth it, you should probably get a M2, M3 or M4 MacBook Air at a discount instead." Apple never said Neo is some kind of a power machine for coding or graphic design, it's basically a cheaper ipad that runs macos, good for school or some of

And then there is a crazy productive guy with a 10 years old MacBook Air. No external keyboards, mouse, not even extra monitors

Here's How Much Faster MacBook Air Gets With M5 Chip vs. M4 Chip
The fact that the MacBook Air (M5) outperforms both MacBook Pro (M2 Max) and MacBook Pro (M3 Pro) is rather jaw-dropping.

Who will Tell him
i used to play A TON of Counterstrike on my MacBook Air. It was fine. But never dared to run it on anything but low specs.

Apple announces 14" MacBook Pro powered by M5

I've reviewed hundreds of budget laptops, and the Apple MacBook Neo blows them all away
It’s more than enough for 95% of users. There’s genuinely no need for a MacBook Air (or MacBook Pro) unless you require the horsepower of the M5 or you want to have the other amenities like a better, bigger and higher quality display. The fact that you can buy two MacBook Neo’s for almost the same p

MKBHD's video about the Mac Neo feels like he purposely didnt mention Surface laptops. Instead used
He probably didn't mention them because the flagship Surface PCs are coming up on two years old and the cheap Surface Laptop is $300 more expensive than the Neo. Unfortunately, Microsoft just doesn't offer competitive MacBook alternatives right now. Comparing a two year old Laptop 7 to a MacBook Air

Do software developers still use MacBook Airs ? Asking

Where to go to buy laptops in SG?
Tbh for 1.5k casual use. MacBook air. No need to look see. Should get minimum 4-5 years outta it easy. Got my m2 base config in 2022 for about $1.5. Still feels as smooth as day 1.

A billionaire and a college student have the same phone and laptop
That's about $7,400. Billionaires should get a maxed out MacBook Air though, an MBP is bulky and heavy and I can't figure out what anyone would need 128GB RAM and an 8 TB SSD for in their home laptop. If it's just about spending money, buy a golden toilet to sit on while shit posting on X. A maxed o
