Thoughts and Observations on the MacBook Neo

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 Worth noting - the MacBook Neo's price of $599 is the equivalent of $190 in 1984 money.

The original Macintosh, of course, launched for $2,495 in 1984 - which is equvalent to $8,000 in today's money.
