      > When comparing the ‌MacBook Neo‌’s performance to existing Macs, the A18 Pro’s multi-core performance is on par with the M1 chip in the MacBook Air, but single-core performance is much higher than it was with the ‌M1‌.

      Still daily driving my M1 Macbook Air with 16GB of RAM, going almost 6 years now.

      Dozens of iOS apps and full 3d Godot games fully developed on this thing, hundreds of hours of video edited in Davinci Resolve, and it has never skipped a beat. It’s my little passively-cooled beast.

      I can see the value in the Neo if it really is as fast or faster than the M1.

      The hardware limitation of 8GB of RAM is disappointing, but frankly, if you genuinely care, you’re not the target audience for it.

      The only reason I’ve ever gone above 8GB of RAM usage on my Macbook is running iPhone emulators on it. For people just browsing the web, it’ll be fine, not ideal, just fine.

      essentially, it’s just a cheaper way to browse the web, watch videos and do simple tasks without overpaying Apple for features most people don’t actually use – good device as a second laptop for use outside the home

      The „bUt iT’s An iPhOnE cHiP!!“ crowd still looking foolish.

      Now just need some real world tests to show performance and embarrass the „oNly 8gB!!“ crew who still don’t understand the difference between RAM and unified memory.

      Absolute beast of a machine.

      Personally, I would have preferred something that split the difference between this and an iPad Pro. Dock it to the battery+keyboard base and you’ve got MacOS. Undocked, you have iOS. File system unified between both. At this price point, I get it though.

      None of which will matter when it has no backlit keyboard at night

      Its interesting cuz at 1st everyone was bummed it had an iphone chip. The thing is, if this laptop is actually decent and stable enough for web browsing/web apps, zoom meeting, and simple programs. Then it’ll prove Apple’s mobile A18 chips are so efficient and powerful that now a simple laptop can run them. Game changer and will possibly show how strong we’ve come w/ Apple’s mobile silicon chips.

      This is great news for M1 Pro users, right? The lifespan of OS support for these lesser performant MacBooks has just started so there shouldn’t be any logical reason why M1s wouldn’t have a long life of OS updates ahead of them.

      It will also be a good starter developer machine. Heck vscode and python app development takes less resources than powerpoint- acrobat. Wondering how well this could handle docker containers

      Especially with how shitty current Windows 11 is, these MacBook will sell like hot cakes.
