dataI started evaluating the MacBook Neo today and will be using it for about a week. I was immediately disappointed. Mouse movement feels slow and laggy, and scrolling is sluggish. It feels like a several-years-old computer. My i3 Skylake Hackintosh (albeit running macOS 15) feels snappier.
I want to find out whether this Mac will suit our most basic users (email, Office, web browsing, etc.). So far, it works fine for those tasks, but it just FEELS slow.
This week's MacAdmins.news covers Background Security Updates and how to manage them, an Enterprise-y look at the MacBook Neo, and the usual collection of updates, automations, articles, and tools!
