I wonder how many people used the Neo as their escape-route from Windows 10.
Probably a lot. macOS is better than Windows and easier than Linux. For anyone not playing PC games, it’s a big upgrade.
And neo is good enough for basic things like browsing the web, writing documents, email and such. Even a mobile chip is good enough for that, and has been for about 20 years already. Most people don’t need that much, so neo is perfectly fine for them.
I was playing with editing video on it. Surprisingly capable as long as you aren’t going crazy with tons of effects and such.
Some mad lads and lasses also edit videos on a phone. If you’ve never touched anything better, you don’t even feel the pain that much.
Yup. It’s totally good for that. I’m used to editing on high end Avid systems (yes feature films), and while I wouldn’t want to do that on a Neo, cutting home movies or stuff for school would be cake.
I use Crossover to play windows games on my Mac. It works with pretty much any game that doesn’t use kernel-level anti-cheat.
Well, apple used to be a significant price premium over the competition. Thanks to AI everyone else’s prices seem to have gone up significantly, while Apples have barely moved.
That makes this computer a good deal as much and anything, which given all the other issues Windows an MS has, makes it an easy choice to switch.
