You can now buy a MacBook, iPhone, and iPad for just over $1,500. All are fairly capable machines that run native software.

The new MacBook Neo is particularly interesting because its existence implies a more powerful counterpart—perhaps a new MacBook Pro "Ultra" that could run a native LLM or agentic AI model.

All this is, imo, a good thing. Or, better than the alternative. Apple's hardware strategy might be the only thing in the way of the rest of big tech's cloud-first strategy.

@fromjason years ago the MacBook Airs were kinda janky, but my wife has a new one and it is super nice. If the Neo has the same build quality it will indeed be a great machine for probably most people.

@bloftinsk8 seems like the build is similar which is impressive. So interesting that Apple is releasing this when there's a GPU "shortage".
