shrThis usb4/thunderbolt hub comes with a massive power brick. Wasn't expecting this. #usb #thunderbolt #tech #usb4

MikaI never would've expected "Neo" as an #Apple product name but #MacBookNeo is looking like it's set to be a market share disruptor. Without any student discount, without any #Shopee sales and whatnot, the Neo's just 2499 MYR lol. That's fucking ridiculous, when #Windows laptops with half the capability and a quarter of the build quality would at least cost 3-3.5k MYR.
I still think the #MacBookAir is better value if you could afford it (hard not to, when ~1-3 gen older Airs go for 3k or less brand new, pretty often), but, these Neos are such a sweet deal if u tryna save a lil bit more money or buy in bulk or something for schools/offices. As the tech guy of my family and friends, this laptop is such an easy recommend (assuming that I deem them able to work around #macOS 's weird quirks).
Notable specs:
- A18 Pro #ARM chip (what a flex, same chip as the #iPhone 16 Pro and it's more capable than Apple's M1)
- 8GB RAM (expected, since other Macs have been upgraded to min of 16GB for a while now - and perfectly sufficient on macOS)
- 256GB SSD (not a lot but it's never not been enough on my own Macs even as a dev)
- 1080p webcam
- WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 6
The only downsides:
- Instead of #Thunderbolt/#USB4 ports, it only has 1x USB-3 (charging, data, #DisplayPort) and 1x USB-2 port (charging, data) - this is a slight bummer and USB-2 in this day and age on a laptop is a little weird and confusing, should've both been USB-3, but at least its USB-3 port is capable of DP
- No #TouchID unless you get the 512GB SSD model - prolly not a big deal
- Keyboard isn't backlit I believe, but yea not something I've ever used
- NOT a haptic trackpad u might be familiar with on other MacBooks - prolly the biggest deal to me, but to some reviewers who've tested it out, it's not functionally different?

A breakdown of USB. With USB-C now dominating the landscape, people forget that USB-C is just a connector type, the USB standard (2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 etc.) makes a HUGE difference, even if it's the same connector

I upgraded my #Minisforum DEG1 to ASM2464PD #USB4 / #Thunderbolt #eGPU rig to the DEG2.
I didn't think the old setup was unstable per say, a few quirks here and there. But this thing is rock solid.

.:\dGh/:.At fucking least, USB cables that work at spec. Without paying USB certification shit for their brand. And at good fucking price.

Why It Took Me 4 YEARS to Make a USB Cable
Evie Musselwhite 
You know, many years since the USB4 spec has been published, I've noticed a distinct LACK of PCIe upgrade cards... I thought that we'd finally have a universal Thunderbolt-like expansion card but alas.
The only one is this one I found literally today while doing a routine check (most results when I look for USB4 is USB 3.2 which isn't the same), and OF COURSE it's from SoNNeT! The same company I personally best know them for is their old PowerPC G3 and G4 upgrade modules for the PowerMacs way back when... So this seems very on-brand for them.
Do I need it? No, especially as I'm trying to internalise my drives in the next upgrade cycle for my workstation, but it still be neat to have!
