The MacBook Neo

May the MacBook Neo live so long that its name becomes inapt.

@daringfireball Was hoping you’d compare to the Walmart M1 MBA that it kind of replaces.

Would you advise anyone to buy the Neo over a new M1 MBA if Apple carried both? I probably wouldn’t for any practical reason. Maybe you love colors? Otherwise go M1.

@ruffin That would be a very close call for me, but I think I'd lean toward the Neo for it being fun.

@ruffin The Neo is what I’d recommend to students and neophytes and switchers but for anyone else I'd say to get a refurbished $750 MBA (16Gb RAM, better processor, better screen, more ports) from the Apple Store.
