MacBook Neo looks really good. It's a lot like the MacBook Air but with enough compromises (chips, ports) to get it down to $599.

$599 is a staggering price for a new Mac. There's never been a NEW model Mac laptop for that price. The cheapest new Mac model ever sold was the $499 Mac mini

Because nothing says Neo like a USB spec from *checks notes* 1996

@xenonchromatic given how people use computers it's not unreasonable at all but sure, if you'd like Thunderbolt please pay more money

@jsnell @xenonchromatic I don’t think they’re arguing for thunderbolt. I think 2 usb 3 ports on any laptop is absolutely reasonable. the difference is massive

@Mister_Eel @jsnell Agreed, I think 2 usb 3 ports would have been *fine*. Certainly not ridicule worthy. Making one of those ports USB 2.0 instead though, illustrates something worth observing.
