You don't understand. You guys missed the play.Macbook Neo isn't for your grandma or college students. Grandma is dead and college kids all buy macs anyway.It's for the thirdies. The indians, the brazillians, the "emerging markets". Apple is for the first time ever going after the ground they've left to Windows laptops since forever. They could NEVER afford a macbook at this price before and had to stick to PCs. Now, there is the mac option that will no doubt be 50x better whatever Windows laptop they could get for that price in their own countries. If this happens and every thirdie on the planet is now a macfag, Windows laptops are finished for good. This is why Windows Laptop makers are shitting themselves. Every thirdie on this site I guarantee you is using windows. In the very short future, they could ALL be on Macs.APPLE PLEASE RECONSIDER YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO UNLEASH
>Apple, please reconsider tapping into a gigantic market of potential users that could increase your marketshare by double digits
If it means 3ds Max finally comes to macOS then so be it.
>>108401336>Windows laptops are finished for good. Serves Microsoft right for trying to shove Copilot down everyone's throats.
>>108401336>The indians, the brazillians, the "emerging markets".Where the Neo will be sold for $800 because of tariffs? NopeWindows OEMs are mostly scared by the fact they'll have to sell their fucking C*lerons in the West for $300 instead of $400>They could NEVER afford a macbook at this price before and had to stick to PCsThey could. Just needed to buy used from 2 gens ago
>>108401336You know….americans are poor and third world now…
>>108401336>third worlders>buying laptops that cost over $400lol. lmao even.>there is the mac option that will no doubt be 50x better whatever Windows laptop they could get for that price in their own countries.yea sure. it's twice as expensive as laptops which have twice the memory. nobody is buying this.>>108401528this. the neo is $800 in europe where most people are looking for $300-$650 laptops and are explicitly looking for windows. if you go for 8GB laptops you're in the $350 territory.the poorfags who want an apple laptop would rather pay $600-$800 for a used or refurbished macbook m2 air since it's 2x as powerful.
>>108401336>If this happens and every thirdie on the planet is now a macfag, Windows laptops are finished for good.And that's a good thing. No one wants your wangblows microslop operating system running an outdated architecture
>>108401336https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QA-fcQfRdEsthey're already performance mod'ing the neo for 15% FPS gains
>>108401336Jerryrig Everything has a teardownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NueC1gwGQHs
>>108401907That's a good mod, even Apple should start doing, improving the performance of the CPU is more important than having a cool laptop bottom cover
with apple, you WIN!
>>108402092sex with men doesn't count
>>108401336>It's for the thirdies. The indians, the brazillians, the "emerging markets".No anon, it's the great depression laptop for the west.
>>108401336>brazilian>$500 minimum wage>tariffs make neo cost 1400USDbruh... ur so clueless
>>108401336Gonna add a thermal pad over the logic board as soon a my Neo arrives.
>>108401583t. projecting third world mutt.
>>108402120seething ahh nigga.
>>108401336This for American students. Third worlders have e-waste from decades ago to use, and they either run ancient windows or linux.
>>10840216150% of consumer spending is done by 10% of people, in the US. the rest is povery tier
>>108402161this is just willful ignorance at this point
Why get this over a used M1 Air?
>>108402325so you dont get a 5yo battery
>>108401336
>>108402288Which is not at all a healthy economy. If everyone wasn't domesticated we'd have a French Revolution and we should.
>>108401336They already released the mini in those regions and they still didn't buy them dude
>>108402134thisthis is too expensive for the third world
>>108401336This is like $700 in Finland. It's their take for the old core 2 duo era "cheap" laptop (the white one) which was around $1,000.I would like to see a "thirdie" who can afford this one.
>>108401336>be on technology board>dude is just complaining that indians can buy technology.you guys ever do anything except complain?
>>108402309You’re responding to bait. 4chan isn’t a good place for well thought out arguments about changes in the US economy when someone can respond with “lol cope poorfag” and rack up (You)s
>>108401336For those unaware
>>108401411People still unironically use this dogshit? Why? Might as well just use parametric modeling if you need higher precision and direct measurement controls. It's been surpassed in every other area
>>108402288Ok, that still leaves like $10 trillion for the remaining 90%. Based on the US having 120M households, 90% of households is 108M. That's like $90,000 in consumer spending per household on average for the remaining 90%. That just means the top 10% are uber rich. Americans are still rich overall and spend like crazy.
>>108401336With apple Fashion products you always have to start with base line question:With apple... Are You paying 3 to 7 time more for same experience and less compatibility as with Win\Linux not mentioning whole dongle land which you need spent another 200 in order make Apple product functioning in their own bubble.Usually with WIN\ LIN machine You do not single additional cable .And that is just bare base line thinking.I am not even going mention literal hell which you meet when Your Fashion product from Apple refuse working properly or at all.So are you buying outrageously expensive non compatible Apple Fashion which will be jus collecting dust or You buying real compatible Hardware Tech Tool which chew whatever you throw at it without bragging about missing dongle !I think that answer is clear If you are completely retarded Idiot You are going to buy Apple.
This seems stupid to me.I don't think that's the case. That target demographic is very used to Windows and struggles with macOS.The point for some of these people, is to show off. How do you show off if anyone around you can afford what you can afford?Performance wise you have 8GB of RAM. That is trash. Imagine the gaymers trying to run shit through parallels on it (because macOS has fucking nothing).Speaking of that, these people don't buy software, ever. They're not spending 10 bucks on this, 20 bucks on that, or a fucking subscription on parallels. They pirate everything. As for people doing very basic tasks they can just grab a chromebook.
/g/, I know you hate apple hardware and such.Would it be a silly idea to grab a macbook pro M1 over this shit for a similar price?Is the M1 to M5 such a big jump it warrants getting this instead?
>>108407223did you write this in another language and translate it?
>>108407246Do not be scared !ask question.
>>108407234>Would it be a silly ideaNo, but it will run out of support soon, although you can install new macOS versions unofficially anyway.
>>108407234Save up a tiny bit on M4 Air instead if you really, really, really need it and you know what you need it for. If you don't know that, then don't buy it.
>>108407637>M4 AirWell fuck, I didn't know it was 899€. Fuck is the point of this Macbook Neo?
>>108407673To rip off clueless people like you from 5 minutes ago.
>>108407673899? just spend a little more and get a pro!
>>108407685You say this ironically but that has been my journey so far. Everything is just a $200 upgrade and I'm ALREADY spending that much anyways. Something I couldn't even think about spending over $1500 on is slowly creeping up to $2700.
>>108407781the apple pricing ladder. it lets you slowly upsell yourself on features.
>>108407802they've really mastered it. I'm sure my m5 pro w/ 48gb of ram will provide the best email responding/content consumption experience.
>>108407781What exactly are you going to do, though? You likely don't need a Macbook Pro. Maybe even a Macbook period.
>>108401336you could claim the same about the iPhone SE and you see how that went
>>108401336I'm a thirdie and I own a $1000 laptop btw
>>108407880I don't NEED this much. Some onsale windows craptop would cover it, but I want to give apple a try with my pc. mba would work but I'm not going back to a 60hz panel lol.
>>108406962idgi
>>108407227This isn't made for gamers. It's made for poor Apple fans.>>108407234>Is the M1 to M5 such a big jumpM5 is basically 2x M1 performance. Macbook Neo uses A18 Pro which is roughly as powerful as the M1, but throttles really hard because Apple didn't add $0.2 worth of cooling material on it. It's not worth buying over the M4 and if you're on a tight budget it's better to just buy the M1 or M2 anyway (or a Windows laptop like a normal person).
>>108407234The only concern is that we don't know how long apple will support the m1 series, the m1 air came out in 2020 and m1 pro/max in 2021
>>108408204>It's made for poor Apple fans.I feel like there's an oxymoron there
>>108401336The much bigger tell is that Apple is suddenly investing into the poors market. They just spent 20 years as the elite tech company that sold overpriced gadgets based on the high social status of its brand. Now they're destroying that invaluable brand image by dipping into the icky stinky brown market. So instead of dominating an exclusive, high social status niche that other competitors could never break into, they're now aspiring to compete with the likes of Dell and HP. They must be very desperate, rich people must no longer be buying the latest shiny apple device on release. Apple is finished, they are gonna be just another literally who brand in 10 years.
Apple sells the M1 Air in these markets to this day, what exactly is the difference? And the M1 Air was better, it has two TB3 ports and better speakers.
>>108401336>the brazilliansno regional pricing here, don't worry >>108402134
>>108401336What the fuck is an Rs???
>>108408243Why would you say that? Most people buy iPhones through 2-3 year contract monthly installments. And a ton of iPhone users use their phones for 4+ years. I've known a person who only switched away from the original SE 2 years ago, and one person who switched from the 5S 3 years ago. Also a ton of people buy refurbished iPhones from 2-3 generations ago.

I don't need a lot of compute power because I can just ssh into a real computer but I want good (12+ hr real usage) battery life and a decent screen. What should I get other than a Macbook?
>>108408864>I want good (12+ hr real usage) battery life and a decent screenI guess the Neo is not for you then since the screen is shite and the battery life is 20% worse than the M1 Air.
>>108408948I didn't say the Neo
oop
>>108401336>>108401528>>108401805Hindi Youtube channels almost universally hate the Neo.You can get a 15" Acer/Asus/Lenovo with better everything and a real CPU for even less. Those are the laptops that thirdies actually buy.

I don't understand the Neo, its worse than a tablet at a higher price point. Does it not compete with their own iPad? I only see this as a an extra option over the Macbook Air.
>>108406962Oh no. This means even more of them online doesn't it
>>108410229ipads dont run macos
thirdies are less retarded than macfags KEKthey only have 5 dollars per week and won't get scammed out of it as easily as lobotomised mystery meat jewslave amerimutt GOLEMS
