Christina WarrenI’ll have much more to say about the MacBook Neo next week on Mac Break Weekly, but my early critique is that even tho I’m a fan of this, we shouldn’t pretend that at its core, this isn’t a $300 Chromebook being sold for $600. The $300 premium is prob worth it for a subset of buyers. I love expanding the ecosystem to more people. But this is still a very expensive Chromebook with way worse connectivity and more storage. Yes, it runs macOS but…
Phil Kim@film_girl Neo also boasts a significantly better screen, trackpad, and design than $300 Chromebooks.
That isn't to say USB 2 sucks, especially since the port is unlabeled. I suspect USB 2 is A18 Pro's limitation and will likely be addressed in the next revision, along with an increase to 12GB of RAM.
