    Consider that this is an iPhone 16 in a MacBook shell, though. This gives you performance comparable a 5 years old used MacBook M1. It’s usable, but it’s designed to act as a gateway drug, you’ll immediately hit storage and memory limits and want to buy a more expensive one.

    8gb of RAM in 2026 where most modern apps are made in electron and a basic text editor takes half gig to show a blank page is less than ideal

      This thing can run iPad apps right? So at least that is an option when the desktop version is shite. I mean I’m using an iPhone 14 for the last 4 years and it’s fine to use. This laptop is aimed at college and high school kids who just need a browser and take notes. It’s probably fine for that. It’s a Chromebook alternative it’s not for power users.

      Just look at how many crappy Chromebooks get sold to schools. The Neo is the perfect replacement for that market.

      I just wished Apple would revert that shitty Liquid Ass UI. It made the operating system unusable.
