A lot of folks got very excited about the MacBook Neo — but Apple's been selling a machine with almost these exact specs for *years*. So what did the bright colors and rounded fonts really try to solve? Maybe Apple's embarrassment about serving Walmart customers. https://www.anildash.com/2026/03/08/neo-apple-embarassment/

@anildash like, I find apple super annoying with their monopoly on the best hardware available for laptops, and shit-ass attention they give their operating system, but ffs, they have not been selling a laptop as capable at that price. This seems like a move that generally helps people that like using computers.
