Meanwhile apple is selling a $600 MacBook.
Never interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake, I guess.
New surfaces are absolutely dog shit, everyone who had one at my company asked to switch to a regular laptop because of the weird issues they were having.
> An equivalent M5 MacBook Air now costs $400 less than a similarly specced Surface Laptop, and nothing in Microsoft’s lineup comes close to the MacBook Neo’s value-for-the-money.
Apple, unironically the value choice now, especially with the Neo competing iwth cheap plastic shell Windows laptops.
Hahaha how long until “surface PCs being discontinued due to lack of sales?”
Never miss out on an opportunity to raise prices.
this tells me there was hardly anyone buying the base config. And/or most were enterprise customers who don’t care.
Good luck with that Microsoft. The days of Surface are likely numbered.
Meanwhile Apple has a $599 MacBook Neo that’s actually pretty awesome.
Had a surface, hated it. Ended up getting a real laptop pretty shortly. The surface now lives in the kitchen to use solely for internet recipes while cooking cause if it gets crap spilled on it i wont be sad. But standing upright without a keyboards makes it kinda unlikely anything spilled will really short it out… the legit only benefit ive ever found to it.
Those things suck. Why are people still buying them? So many better, cheaper options available.
Ah MICROSLOP. Never change. Apples gonna continue eating your lunch here.
Is a surface PC a PC for those on the surface because I’m in an underground bunker due to world war III
Why is it only like a US thing? In my country the price is still the same. Maybe it’s the tariffs.
LOL, no wonder the MacBook Neo is selling so well…
I bought the 12 inch (512gb) earlier this year on sale… returned it because the screen felt too dark, processor power was middling, and battery was a bit too low for my liking (I had purchased specifically to see how an arm-based Windows device would perform & expected more than what I got tbh). I returned to a MacBook after doing so haha.
I would not have purchased the device at its MSRP of the time and *ABSOLUTELY* would not purchase it at this newer price, that’s a ridiculous ask for the value and age of the hardware.
Why would anyone get these dated machines in 2026 when almost 5x performance is at 600 (MacBook Neo)
Not to mention the simplicity of macOS and the exceptional build quality, the likes of which Microslop can only dream of
Those are the ones that managed to earn a zero in ifixit.com’s repairability test. There is literally no nondestructive way to disassemble them.
When I was a broke working guy in my twenties, I was forced to go with Microsoft branded laptops. Never a great experience.
With the Neo being $600, I can’t fathom why ANYBODY would go for any Windows laptop over a dedicated Mac. The choices today are more vast than ever, and raising a price on a struggling brand when competition is more hefty than it was before, I can’t sanction Microsoft’s buffoonery.
Lol, Microsoft is almost impressive in how fast it’s speed running to the bottom.
