MacBook Neo

~30% shorter battery vs M4 Air (presumably 13") under "light load" is not great (though expectedly shorter), but no methodology nor comparisons to other $500 - $700 MSRP laptops. It's tough to find many Wi-Fi battery life tests. The only one I've found is Tom's Hardware, but a mix of Wi-Fi brosing,

Desktop side, Thunderbolt 5 and an external SSD helps a bit. Battery wise, hoping to see the Neo's battery setup make it's way into the rest of the laptops, just recently paid a local shop to take the battery out of a still otherwise functional 2017 MBP. Overall Windows is such a mess, and I'm not g

Neo should be enough for that, but I would strongly recommend spending just $160 more and get an official Apple refurbished M4 Air (indistinguishable from brand new). Comes with MagSafe, Thunderbolt, backlit keyboard with Touch ID, better screen, speakers, camera, and most importantly 16GB RAM. Neo

I don't think anyone who knows much about the mobile sector believes Apple phones (or other hardware, for that matter), is bad quality. iPhones used to have terrible battery life, but those days are mostly gone, and the competition wasn't really better back then. The real problem is pricing. And it'

Imo abangan mo ung Macbook air kung mag sasale ba sa shopee/lazada sa 6/6 if it ever gets to 50~k (or if swerte in the ~45k range) for m5 model you are better of with the macbook air value wise than the neo even at academic pricing(39k for the 512 model). The 8 GB ram is not going to age well even w

In the sense that they only had to scrape the bottom of the barrel and we had to accept that, yeah. You're right that the existing market isn't great. The neo's going to bump up that quality since apple's got a massive brand signature and has attracted a lot of attention to budget laptops. And yes I

Well, if he uses apple, then interacting with those with macOS then yeah.And, the biggest reason that is probably gonna change my mind is the battery life.Battery life for laptops like I said, with those specs, for the price range, will probably have an absolute dog shit battery life.So, if he wants

funny how the x14 has almost half the battery life of the macbook neo while also having almost double the battery size. that's horrendous efficiency compared to apple and exactly what I expected from intel chips.

That's literally not how TDP works on the fanless MacBooks. What happens that you get burst performance at highish power draw (in the neo's case around 15W and 25-30W on the M1 air) but this is not sustainable and after a short burst the performance drops as the Mac overheats and the chips throttles

What exactly is not working? Do you even know what TDP is? Even boosting requires TDP headroom. You can’t boost to infinite values, the cooling system won’t be able to dissipate the heat fast enough Did you even read what I wrote? TDP was related to the minimum battery life. Under sustained workload
