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 IMHO, 8GB RAM will be a deal-breaker. For years, users complain that the iPhone has less RAM compared to Android phones, regardless Apple's explanation that an iPhone does not need the same amount of RAM to perform at the same level as an Android. I foresee that the same discussion with the Neo. People will compare Neo's amount of RAM with similar PC laptops and will probably wait until Apple ships the Neo with more RAM, even when the current amount is more than sufficient.
@BrightBird I don't think it's a dealbreaker at all. If someone cares, they’ll spend to get a MacBook Air.
