>paying for a 1st gen product before Apple upgrades it to a much better value with better IO, processor, ports, etc.Why?
>>108359073>be me>not poor>buy shiny thing when i want
>>108359073some people just do not give a shit and they cant be helpedand it's best to let them learn (or not)
>>108359073You will never be a pro gamer with attitude like that
>>108359073Simple:>Be brainwashed every day by ads and influencers paid to pretend that Apple products are the best.>Hear people saying their $3000 macbookpro is fine.>See this $599 literal scam>Be tricked into thinking it will be the same as the macbookpro you heard about.
>>108359150its not the macbook pro but its the same high quality you'd find in a macbook pro at a affordable price point, ok?Apple's doing good work through this one, it is affordablely price, great specs and standards for the hardware, nice screen, and perfect for anyone. Its the same macbook branding, so yes it is the same high quality you would expect from it, just affordable and for anyone.
>>108359078Sounds gay. Why buy the beta version?
>>108359078so you get the new M5 Max MBP yet?
>>108359078So what laptop do you have now?
>>108359073I really don't get the hate. It's just a thing that's meant to compete with high end Chromebooks and low end laptops. It does very well at that and it's not trying to be anything else.
>>108359184its first so alpha. you'll get the third one, cuck version.
>>108359207'high end' Chromebooks have 16GB RAMhow much RAM has this piece of trash got then?
>>108359221the neo comes with a real OS instead of red green and blue roblox browser trash
>>108359221My chromebook has 4GB and it's enough for a dozen browser tabs and gaming. Linux Mint was pretty bad with ram but I replaced it with Arch
>>108359221No one who unironically uses Chromebooks knows how much ram it's got in it. Hell, I don't even know how much ram is in mine, It just works which is what the target demographic wants.
WHEN WILL THE SHILLING STOP, i'm tired bros
>>108359073The target demographic for the MacBook neo is people who look at Macbooks and go " oooooooooo a macbooooook, how exotic"which is a lot of people and it's the perfect machine for them.
>>108359290What if it's just people that have an iPhone that works for everything they do, but it's their phone and the screen is too small?What if they just want to do all the same stuff they do on their phone but on a laptop?You guys are acting like this is a step in the wrong direction
>>108359296I'm not hating on the neo? I think it's a great cheap laptop killer. The kind of people who want a laptop to do phone stuff with are exactly the kind of people to oogle Macbooks at a coffee shop.
>>108359073Its just unnecessary. Most people who'll use it already have an iPhone with the same or better specs. Apple should just make their phones compatible with usb-c docking and people will only need one actual SoC to do their computing on any screen.
>>108359290>macbooooook, how exoticthats the point thomacbooks v. quickly stop being 'exotic' when they get corner cut and flogged 'pile 'em high' cheap, tarnishing the brand. I can understand the logic behind a cheap crap psuedo-laptop - moar! profitz for the Gay Beancounter & Co - but not abusing the 'macbook' name on this piece of trash. Its textbook enshittification and shekel grubbery from a company who ran out of ideas and vision long ago.
>>108359073I steer people towards used M-series Air/Pro for about the same cost, but for whatever reason people really want what's new even if it isn't better.
>>108359315>Aesthetics Why are you trying to oversimplify the situation?It's a laptop with a phone processor in an full aluminum housing with a good display at an accessable price.This is a step in the right direction.Chromebooks are the opposite and are a step in the wrong direction.Apple can further go on this direction and give us the option for a full OS on an iPad next. They likely won't however the Neo is a step in that direction.Also, windows will have to seriously assess their situation with Qualcomm
>>108359353nobody wants to waste their time
>>108359073If nobody buys the 1st gen product then there will never be future generations.SOMEONE has to buy it if you want them to keep making more.
>>108359073>he boughted a desktop in the 90s for $2k and it could barely run quake>my mini pc is like 50x more capable and cost $250retards always waste their money instead of waitfagging, baka my head
>>108359073>caring about the inconsequential decisions other people makeWhy?
>>108359653being interested in tech used to be cool, now it's just karens and normies reeeing into the abyss for internet brownie points from people who share the same random baseless opinion
Have you guys seen the internals yet? It’s repairable af and can edit 4K video. $599. I’d be all over this for college if I were going today. It’s excellent.
>>108359073i bought an m1 air on release. it still works
>>108359073>Why?Because this is the first time in 20 years that Apple made a laptop that wasn't a boring grey/beige/black color.And they will probably go back to making everything boring grey/beige/black again by v2.So now or never. I bet the citron/pink models outsell the boring shit 3 to 1.
>>108359818You’re the same fag in every Mac threads and you’re the same fag that thinks jeets can afford them.
>>108359828Literally no u. Jeets are number 1 apple fans.
>>108359073Sometimes you just need something and the right product drops at the right time.Sometimes you don't have the luxury to wait a whole year because "maybe" a better product will replace it. You just fucking need It now, often because the thing you owned before stopped working and you need a replacement. Most people don't buy computers or actually useful tech in general for no purpose.
>>10835907314 years later, yellow is back on the menu
>>108359945Nah, more color options is back in style, which is good.
>>108359969No, they're all on Windows and Android.You know, the two major jeet-led tech companies.
>>108359818>soldered SSD/RAM/WLAN>doesnt exist on 99% of PCsThis line needs an update to remove RAM, soldered RAM has become common-ish in laptops.
>>108359073Unironically a great everyman device if it was 12gb ramas is I’d rather buy used macbook air m4 for the same price
>>108359322>"Now you can have a shitty interface and lack of freedom on larger screen!"
>>108359073Everyone's saying it's a good deal for medium heavy creative work as long as you have an edu address

>>108359958he's literally saving people from bad investments and you're stuck thinking about Indian men?get a grip
>>108359073because it's the best laptop at that price range
>>108359073brother it's freaking $500. that's literally peanuts. it is going to last you 3 to 5 years easily.
>>108359073The cope argument "it's not made for you" is starting to make sense to meThey're even going on social media trying to market to dumb kidsIt's always intended to be a device for the education market, replacing the base iPad that's a bit useless unless you own an Apple Pencil or attach a keyboard to itThe poors who were attracted by the price tag, expecting MacBook Pro specs and the critics who are shitting on this device with the same mindset just don't get it
>>108360163>it is going to last you 3 to 5 years easily.lolnothat trash is already under specced, by anyones definition.
>>108359073Wow a macbook for the price of a phoneIncredible value proposition
>>108360262phones have got 12GB of RAMthats 50% more than the N_omaybe people should JUST buy a 16GB (at least!) N_o instead, then they wouldn't have an outdated machine that they could at least open a few browser tabs at once and stuff?What?They CAN'T?!>oh.
>>108360009this, but unironically
>>108359073>first genAnon, it's a laptop. Apple has been making them for decades. The M1 MacBook Air was also "1st gen" but no one is complaining about issues specific to it.
>Check price in euroland>699€Yeah I don't know what the point is. At least it should have been 16GB. I've used a macbook air (M3) with 8GB and it's just sluggish shit. Why would people pay 699 europoors on this shit? It even looks ugly like a laptop for children.
>>108360432technically, the M2 Air got magsafe back, which sux for M1 owners where it was deleted.I'd laugh if Neo2 gets magsafe.
>>108359207>I really don't get the hate.where did OP hate?
>>108359073>but next gen will be better!you will never be able to "happily" buy anything with such mindset. The version after that, and the following version will always be better. You will never feel confident, you will never feel secure, and will never be happy.>but I don't want to waste moneyyeah exactly. If you're such a poorfag where few hundred dollars or thousands make you so insecure of your purchase, you will never understand.

>>108360619And what is this supposed to be? It doesn't even say who made that chart, let alone a link to actual data.
>>108360619Now consider the price of an iphone, the price of an android chinkphone and average salary in india. Those shitnigs go into debt just to get a blue bubble.
>>108359073>8 gigs unifiedturbo yikes at that price, yikes in general
>>108360632nigga, learn some punctuation
>>108360637lol, keep malding

>>108359078So you're retarded.
>>108360673>wealthier countries can afford more expensive toysI am shocked. Jeets are iphone senpaitachi in the same way real people are f1 fans. How many of them can afford to take one for a spin? Not that many. Curry niggers can't stop glazing apple online wherever they are.
I'm considering it. I've never owned a macbook before but have enjoyed borrowing other people's before, and I am coincidentally looking to buy a new laptop right now.I haven't owned a halfway decent laptop since the Thinkpad X220 I bought fifteen years ago. I bought some cheap piece of shit from HP for a couple hundred bucks last year to replace it and regret doing so.
>>108360862... and after ten minutes of search engineing, it seems like I may as well just save a couple hundred bucks and buy an M1 macbook air with 16gb of ram.
>>108360913Why not grab an M1 Pro?You get something that shits on the neo
>>108360945Hmm, maybe. I don't really need something that completely shits on it though, and when I've seen pros and airs side by side irl in the past I've usually preferred the airs
>>108359073What make you think the second gen would be better?
>>108360975ChromeOS is garbage though, what can you even do on it? Web browsing? Playing slay the spire? That about it?
>>108360009So like with iPads
I think the Neo only has 8GB because that's what the A18 Pro had and the DRAM is integrated with the chip (not the die). Apple probably had a lot of A18 Pro chips just laying around and they needed to put them into something. They couldn't put it in iPads because the base model is too cheap to accomodate A18 Pro in it and the Airs and Pros use M series chips. They also couldn't put it in an SE because that product line is dead. I don't think you can expect a refresh of the Neo in any foreseeable future. iPhone 17 series sold too well for Apple to have a ton of A19 Pros with 12GB of memory just laying around and they're not using M chips for the Neo. They probably think 8GB is enough because the Neo is meant for basic stuff like web browsing, editing some documents and education. At $499 it's a far better deal than some shitty Chromebook.
>>108360962Not him, but there's this common phenomenon in tech. The first gen of a new product often is basically a beta version, with issues that wouldn't be hard to fix, but either got overlooked, or were ignored to focus on more important issues before launch date. Second gen then (usually) fixes these low-hanging fruit, in additional to your typical generational upgrades.
>>108360975Holy shit the 365 needs twice the battery size to match the Neo and is slower, too. What a pathetic showing from AMD. Panther Lake on the other hand is really impressive. It seems like not only Intel but also it's foundries are back seeing how good Intel 18A is.Either way you're a retarded niggerfaggot because you're comparing the Neo to notebooks that cost as much as the Pro. Yeah no shit a $500 budget device has to make concessions that a $1500 Winjeet ewaste doesn't.
>>108361011>posting fake benchmarksI accept your concession.
>>108361032does this also look like a fake benchmark to you?
>>108361000yeah the neo is probably going to be like a 4-5 year thing that follows when schools are most likely to upgrade their devices. who knows. or maybe it will become the SE where its' just w/e parts are left over every year or 2. it just depends on how much in extra parts they have i guess.
>>108359958Yup just keep reporting the spamming troll impoverished thirdie.
>>108360632Kek
>>108360637Lol it doesn't understand charts a 6th grader can analyze and understand
>>108359073This is probably the best laptop you can recommend to a normie. It will probably start with 12 gb of ram next year and be a good pick for autists too
>>108360604you post these for free
>>108359207Autistic people don’t like it when their routine is disrupted. Neo disrupts a lot of accepted principles when it comes to computers. Neo is like introducing a Redditor to conservative thought.>8GB RAM, wait til the next model, etc.They only use Windows/Linux and can’t fathom anything less than 16. So why try?>RepairableApple uses glue and tape everywhere. It’s not like them to make something repairable. >I need to play Cyberpunk on Ultra settings with the hardware on the devicePlay them on your PC. MacBooks are for getting shit done. Writing, Composing music, Editing video, side browser etc. It’s okay to use one device to do one thing and another device to do other things. >macOSLet’s just give them this one. An autistic person isn’t going to be able to find value in Garageband, Final Cut and the like. They’ll be too busy talking about “alternative softwares on Linux that do the same thing.” Yep, because buying Cola at the local dollar tree is the same thing as a Coke from a vending machine. Gotcha.
>>108360009>>108360999That's software dependent, not hardware.
>>108360962new iphone pro chip starts at 12gb ram, assuming they use the pro variant again
Anons, do I get MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro or the M5 Max chip? I need some kind of balance between the battery life and performance, but I don't know which of these to choose. To be more specific, whenever Apple proposes two options of the chip for the Pro or the Max, I'm talking about the better option of two.
>>108363064what are you doing with it?
>>108363093Daily tasks (nothing intensive), software development, potentially some drawing and music production, but it's just a hobby to me, not anything serious. Might try to get into 3D modeling and animation, but that might be a pipe dream.>why not M5 baseI want two fans tbhon
>>108363093>>108363139Oh and I want the 14-inch chassis, it has a smaller battery though
>>108359689It's easily disassembled and the screen, keyboard, and battery can be replaced which is good but the motherboard is basically a single board computer with non-serviceable parts.
>>108363139might as well just get the pro and make sure you have enough RAM since you don't actually need the max
>>108363149M5 Pro. The max would eat the battery like mad and is unnecessary. Honestly the M5 Pro is a bit overkill as well but eh it’s your money not mine.
>>108363164What is the Max chip actually for though, video editing?>>108363168Would latest MacBook Air work by any chance?
>>1083631883D, AI, Serious video editing etc.You could probably get by with the M5 Air if you don't need the extra ports/better screen
>>108363188>I want two fans tbhonThe Air doesn't have air cooling.
>>108363193Would it be OK to attempt any kind of 3D modeling and 3D animation on M5 Pro at all? Or is it better to not get into it (at leas on the laptop)?>>108363242Well I know obviously, I mean that if there's a fan at all, I kinda want two fans, although it's a weird thing to focus on, but that's the original reason I got upsold to a Pro chip in the first place
>>108363139youd definitely know if you needed the max. Its just more ram with also more memory bandwidth, and more gpu cores and neural accelerators. Like for "AI" and video editing stuff. CPU is the same. Pro and max have fans and are for long sustained workload. If nothing intensive then you dont need more than the Air m4/5. PRO models are for people making a lot of money with their computer. It's a business expense to them where time is money--finishing exports 5 minutes faster adds up over an entire year. Air is more of a nice general use personal computer

For me, its the HP Stream 14.
i picked up one a few days ago. It's reasonably snappy, runs all the apple productivity software you'd expect and it runs the programs I need for my work. I don't play many video games and the ones I do play already work on mac, besides I have a nice pc with cachyos on it if I actually do want to play some more intensive games. People have mentioned the 8gb of ram issue and it is a low amount of ram, but I haven't had any memory issues with it, i'll have a crapload of tabs open in brave and it hasn't slowed or crashed on me once. This isn't me defending it but it's far from unusable. Considering most laptops at this price point are utter e-waste I think it's impressive that apple released something reasonably priced. As an entry level laptop or as a complimentary device for your iphone I think it makes a lot of sense. Just being able to run the apple creator studio stuff makes it a good deal in my opinion. I use keynote and final cut pro a lot for my work, so it's nice to have access to those programs without having to spend a retarded amount of money a laptop i'm not really gonna use all that often.
My 2016 Intel MacBook Pro is due for an upgrade after 10 years of use. All I do is shitpost on the internet and play guitar/bass into Garageband (might get Logic or Pro Tools someday) thru my Scarlett interface. Might pick up a Neo for $500. Could also get a refurb Air for $760 but I don't know that I would really benefit from $260 more of computer. What do you anons think?

>>108359073It's the best choice if you're buying a new laptop for $600But really if you're poor you should buy a used laptop and if not then why are you buying a $600 laptop?
>>108367774>It's the best choice if you're buying a new laptop for $600I prefer buying the $900-1000 laptops when they go on sale at the end of the year for $400-500.
>>108367774>But really if you're poorMeh, people buy things like that on 0% apr credit cards or buy now pay later apps. As long as you pay it off on time, there's no interest and no fees and you get to pay for something in 2 months to 24 months instead of right now.
>>108367805financing a laptop is fucking stupid. if you don't have the money for it then don't buy it
>>108367820>financing a laptop is fucking stupid.it's only stupid if you pay interest or fees. Plus you get a better warranty on top of that. I finance all my laptops and pay it off when I feel like it. The same price you pay, except I can pay it off anytime between now and next year.
>>108367820>if you don't have the money for it then don't buy itAnon, there's people way richer than you with high level credit cards that pay for way bigger items than you can afford on credit. They just pay it off whenever they feel like it.
>>108359073There isn't a better laptop for $600 that's new.
>>108367890>There isn't a better laptop for $600 that's new.I get better laptops on clearances at the end of the year when the current stock is being wiped out for next year's models.
Should I use tap-to-click or should I physically press the trackpad to click, on a MacBook? I.e. I'm asking if I should enable the former option in settings or use the default latter option.
>>108367936Ok but nothing for the $600 MSRP. Nobody wants to wait around for the end of the year, if they need a laptop now they need one now.
>>108367992There are some laptops that have existed before this year
>>108367992>Nobody wants to wait around for the end of the year, if they need a laptop now they need one now.Laptops rarely break when you need them. Nobody needs anything right now unless they need it for school or work and you have nothing else. Everybody reading this has a phone, laptop and desktop and they can get a working PC for $100+ on ebay for the same basic tasks they need on a daily basis. Most people only buy a $600+ laptop to have something fancy, rather than necessary.
This thing exists because Apple had leftover parts from machines nobody wanted, they just designed a board to mount them on and added a screen.
> paying for a 1st gen product before Apple upg-- ACK!The M1 Macbook Air was good from the get go, Apple still supports them and millions of people still use them everyday. /g/ tards bitched and cried about 8GB of RAM being too little and swapping killing the soldered in SSD, but guess what, 8GB is still enough for basic tasks in MacOS and 5 years into the launch of the first 8GB M1 devices, no mass death of SSDs has been reported anywhere. The MB Neo is by all intents and purposes, a M1 MBA version 2.
>>108367992It’s 500 with the education discount anyone can get
>>108359073Why not? First gen M1 was a huge success too. Literally M1 was LEAPS ahead of their Intel line up and now versions M2 through M5 were barely any upgrade at all.

>>108368455>They're never upgrading this piece of shit.That's just stupid, anon. It's not going to be the exact same machine forever. Go take a nap before you hurt yourself.
>>108368470It won't be the same machine, yes, they'll put a better processor in it and maybe upgrade the webcam and might put a faster SSD in it. The RAM configuration is unlikely to change though. This is a terrible laptop whose whole purpose is for Apple to offer a laptop for people that can't afford their actually good models.They can polish this turd but it'll still be a turd.
>>108368470>It's not going to be the exact same machine forever.thisit becomes ewaste when crapple pushes out the first update to cuck iNiggers into buying another
>>108368455I bought one out of boredom just to try out macOSNeo is a top notch shitposting machine desu
>>108368478To be clear I do think there's a market for this just not at $500 as standard price (assuming >>108368105 is accurate) and $400 on discounted price, etc, then it might be worth it.Essentially they have made a cheap laptop with Apple tax and you all call it brilliant. There's a nothing ground breaking about it. Charge what it's worth and everyone will say it's okay.
>>108359073lol my 15 year old laptop has 16GB RAM and this shit only has 8GB
>>108368455>>1083684788 gigs of memory is more than enough for a normie who just needs a simple laptop to browse the Internet and maybe do some light office work. There is nothing that audience is doing that needs more memory.
>>108368497Just open Chrome tabs and you'll need more than that.
>>108368478>It won't be the same machine, yes, they'll put a better processor in it and maybe upgrade the webcam and might put a faster SSD in it.Which is the OP's point. Don't buy now. Buy it when it has more value-add upgrades. The 1st gen Apple products are always not worth buying. Wait for 3rd or 4th gen.
>>108368502It will never have value upgrades if they don't upgrade the RAM configuration though. The processor will be fine but $600 is too much for a laptop with only 8 GB of RAM.Get it down to $400-$500 and it's a different story.
>>108368489>it becomes ewaste when crapple pushes out the first update to cuck iNiggers into buying anotherMy dad's iPhone 12 is just as fast as the day he bought it. Whenever I help him with it, I am surprised at how performant it is.
>>108368500That's an exaggeration. I have Firefox open with 51 tabs (and I actually clicked through all of them while counting to make sure they loaded) and it's only using 722 mb. And Firefox is a notorious memory hog. There is no way you could need more than 8 gb for your browser; you're just spewing meme retardation.
>>108368521And what do you have open in those tabs? I promise you it's not an exaggeration you will find plenty of screenshots of people whose browser is using a lot of RAM…
>>108368509>It will never have value upgrades if they don't upgrade the RAM configuration though. The processor will be fine but $600 is too much for a laptop with only 8 GB of RAM.What are you going to say when the 3rd gen has 12GB ram, better ssd, better camera, better screen, touch id built-in, better speakers, A20 pro, better ports for the same price?
>>108368527Then it still won't be worth it. Should be 16 GB minimum like competitor laptops have.
>>108368532Or you drop the Apple tax and then it's just a cheap laptop with 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM. But Apple will never do that.
>>108368532>Should be 16 GB minimum like competitor laptops have.It will get there eventually. You guys act like it will be 8GB for the next 50 years lol.
>>108368495It's worth $50 absolute maximum.There are chromebooks going to recycling centers with better screen, better keyboard, better battery, better performance than apple's latest street shit.
>>108368512This, my 4 year old iPhone 12 is as snappy as it was when I first bought it.
>>108368512>>108368554no one believes you currynigger
>>108368539And when it does then it'll be a great value proposition. The way I see it you're a fool to pay $600 brand new for this. If good certified refurbished deals pop up in the future with a significant price cut though then I'd say the opposite and definitely snag it.
>>108368563>The way I see it you're a fool to pay $600 brand new for this.I think that was OP's point but you guys are fighting him for no reason. He is saying DO NOT BUY, WAIT FOR REVISIONS.
>>108368563it would need a $400 price cut to be performance competitive with chromebooks
>>108368576I don't think revisions will fix the main issue though, which is "This is a crap cheap laptop for an Apple taxed price".>>108368578Agreed. If you can eat into the Chromebook market then suddenly this becomes relevant.
>>108368576>WAIT FOR REVISIONS.and that's why he's a brain dead niggercrapple currynigger shit will never be worth buying

>>108368610indians can't afford apple products though?
>>108359078If you're not poor why would you buy this over a Macbook Pro?
>>108368603It's not, but if it forces other brands to step up their build quality and lower prices, then I don't mind.
>>108359322>shit-tier laptop trackpad instead of a hole and below it an integrated dock for inserting the phone to also use as the trackpad
>>108368618People who build Ferraris and rockets also cannot buy one themselves

>>108359073i bought a first gen m1 macbook pro and its still great.
>>108359073Apple won the next generation, they set up such a great ecosystem of returns they basically are getting 300$ profit each.

>>108371237what better laptop option did i have on in october of 2021 for $1800
Because they have jobs, thus more money than you. Why do you care?
>>108371268Let's be honest you could have bought a chromebook for 500 dollars and it would have done everything you needed it to do.

>>108359073To signal women and competing men that you can afford it. It’s the poorfag’s money show-off.
>>108359073If you want a macBook Neo, buy one now. Don't wait for Apple to jack up prices.
>>108368319>poopoo peepeeindians don't use apple and you take this shit way too seriously. maybe go get that mental illness of yours seen to at some point.
>>108359073Because if you are a child you want to flex with Macs. Because if you are a parent you have no excuse for not buying this thing.

>>108375475Doubt they'll ever make a 15" one. It'll cut into macbook air sales too much

>>108359078>being (you)>Not asking questions, just consuming product and getting excited for new products
>>108376553Its a chill life.
The real question is do you think there'll be a new MacBook Neo next year with 12GB of RAM or will Applel make you wait till 2029?
>>108376875The a18 pro is limiting the ram to 8GB so the Neo with an a19 pro will have 12GB ram as it does on the iPhone 17 Pro.
>>108376275>Doubt they'll ever make a 15" one. It'll cut into macbook air sales too muchBy that logic, the Neo is cutting into Macbook Air 13 sales so...they will probably come out with a Macbook Neo 15 if this one sells well.
>>108359078The target Apple audience
>>108359073Most repairable MacBook in 14 years:
>>108376875The Macbook Neo that will be worth buying is the one that comes with an A20 Pro which will be the first 2nm process chip. You can already tell the order of upgrades...>Neo 2026 = a18 pro (3nm) 8GB ram >Neo 2027 = a19 pro (3nm) 12GB ram>Neo 2028 = a20 pro (2nm) 12GB ram>Neo 2029 = a21 pro (2mm) 16GB ramTherefore if you care about ram and processor, 2029 will be the first good time to buy a Macbook Neo.
>>108359135wat
>>108359073it's funny apple sent him a banana one
>>108359078>buy shiny thing when i wantliterally the worst kind of person
>>108359221they are also filled with an OS that takes up 80% of said RAM.Meanwhile MacOs has muuuuuuch better RAM management which is a reason why their pro stuff is leaps and bounds above the competition.
>>108380085>muuuuuuch better RAM managementget a toilet currynigger
>>108359207This. There's also a market for it. Apple is obviously the more fashionable brand for a lot of people who don't need powerful computers, they just need something reliable that can run a browser and some basic applications. 4chan doesn't care about fashion, but those people do.
>>108380292>they just need something reliable>crapplejeet trashpick one>people>iNiggerspick one

>>108378663>Most repairable MacBook in 14 years:EU made them do it thank god
>>108360434Cause it is literally for kids and students who ask mommy and daddy to buy it for them. No person who makes their own money will blow 699 usd for a toy laptop with a phone cpu
>>108382375You'd be surprised by how many adults are buying this. They are glad they don't need to spend $1099 for the Macbook Air.
it can emulate everything up to the switch, what more do i need?
>>108382408>what more do i need?i'd waitthe 1st gen is not worth it

>>108359322They already have great compatibility with iPhone apps.. like 100 percent and it’s seamless af. Apple did it right I’m tempted to get one but I have a desktop pc so it’d be hard to justify
>>108359322How would Apple convince you to buy both an iPhone and a Macbook (and Airpods, and an iWatch, and an iPad...) if one device could meet all your needs?You're clearly forgetting about the shareholders
>>108383516He is lying
>>108386437theres no technical reason that what hes saying is infeasible, i was just curious about more details. xcode probably runs fine if you close everything else... although having an iphone simulator running alongside might be a bitch - but thats assuming hes build an ios app.

DESIGNATED
>>108387652look, as a former gamer i hate to say it, but games are genuinely for losers. this is true both in a spiritual sense, but even in a technical sense - imagine having an entire section of your silicon dedicated to stretching textures over triangles... i mean, what are you even doing at this point.apple hardware is much more concerned with actually useful computation (video codecs, filters, etc.)
>>108387754>actually useful computationcrapple curryniger shit is designed purely for facebooking, javascript acceleration, and hardware encoding which is utter fucking shit in quality compared to software encodingbut then, their target audience is entirely niggers that dont know how to use a mouse with more than 2 buttons, browsing facebook, and uploading shit quality applel advertisements to kiketube
>>108387979hardware encoding is very good nowadays. 5 fps versus 25 fps is not hugely interesting given that my 8 year old stinkpad can run h265 enodes/transcodes at hundreds of frames per second with intel quick sync.javascript acceleration is very important given that even the technically inclined user will spend >80% of the computers time in a browser - infact, if anything, even more important because the technical users are the ones who run vscode (electron), and put the most pressure on the browser with webapps like github, web-based editors, python jupyter notebooks, and often many hundreds of tabs.as for facebooking, well, i personally am not a huge facebook guy but facebook is probably a pretty good litmus test for how good the machine handles a multimedia rich environment.its hard to take mac detractors seriously when they pick the silliest angles of attack. you could make a far stronger case for the ram prices, or soldered nvme storage. instead you attack the platform's strongest positions...
>>108359073It has good battery life and it's cheap for a MacBook. Apple won bigly.
>>108388335>hardware encoding is very good nowadays
>>108388335>hardware encoding is very good nowadaysum no, it has never been.
>>108359073>before Apple upgrades it to a much better value with better IO, processor, ports, etc.they're not doing thisit's a leftover stock phone part because they overestimated how many people wanted to buy new phones
>>108388557>they're not doing thisyou're fucking stupid. it will get upgraded over time. people like you are fucking retards. The 1st gen is always going to be the worst buy.

Imagine being so poor you can't afford this
I'm gonna consider one if they ever do a better Neo with at LEAST 12GB RAM and ditch the USB 2.0 port. I don't want much more than a small light laptop that works with my phone and is powerful enough to run Lightroom Classic.
>>108393834get rid in what way? remove it altogether?its a hardware limitation like the ram, there are only 2 controllers on the phone chipsone 3.2 gen 2, one 2.0 controllerif anything we should be happy they didnt do a single port again like the 12 inch macbook
>>108393834Then just wait for the 3rd gen

Anyone with money, who is buying apple, is buying at least a MBP, probably with the M5 Pro or M5 Max, depending on how much they've drunk the AI koolaid.
>>108396863>Anyone with money, who is buying apple, is buying at least a MBPI know a lot of people with money who only use the Macbook Air. Only a few own the Macbook Pro.
