The MacBook Neo is the first major new Mac aimed at the consumer market in the Apple Silicon era. It’s meant to make a dent — perhaps a minuscule dent in the universe, but a big dent in the Mac’s share of the overall PC market.
@daringfireball Just a stray thought, but the A12Z Bionic in the 2020 DTK had a pair of 10 Gbps USB-C ports and a pair of 5 Gbps USB-A ports. (It also had 16GB of RAM). But this is comparing apples to oranges.
