How will the competition respond to the neo, if at all? I'm hoping for more laptops within the same price range with good battery life and preferably no fans
>>108467149They won't care. Only fags use apple, and all of them already have one. Poors will keep buying Walmart shitbooks, and people who do real work will keep using whatever it leaves on their desk... which certainly won't be happymeal toy version of a macbook.
They will discontinue their high end shit and focus on selling cheap crappy terminals you can use to access all the cloud services with.
>>108467149 judging by windows/samsung track record they will respond by surrendering the market entirely to neo and make even shittier cheaper laptops

cant block ads on it, im not interested
>>108467567?install firefox
>>108467149I think preinstalling more garbage will help. In general, more buggy drivers that require shitty tray icon applications to "optimize wifi" and whatnot - that's what we need. Written in electron for maximum memory and disk usage, of course.Also important: broken ACPI so things like sleep don't work properly, randomly. Nothing better than pulling your laptop out of your bag and realizing it's completely drained. That's a Windows Laptop staple - those stupid Macfags will never understand.
>>108467149At this rate Microsoft will have no choice but to create an optimized version of Windows for low-end hardware, or create some sort of Microsoft Linux distro. It's either that or total Windows OEM extinction.
Galaxy Books are already cheaper with better specs
>>108467567>uBlock Origin werks and if you don’t have something like pihole at the DNS level you’re a retard anyway.
>>108467149They'll bring back Intel Atom, with 8GB RAM, and it'll be unusable because of Win11's huge fat ass.>>108467973>an optimized version of Windows for low-end hardwareThey had one, it was called Windows 7, way faster on an antique Core 2 Duo than 10/11 could ever be on a supercomputer.
>>108467149OEMs have little incentive for that, as that segment has absolutely shit margins for them. They will keep selling overpriced laptops to businesses to make money.Microsoft will keep focusing on Azure and AI slop while ignoring the customer segment.The market will be flooded by chromebook e-waste being discarded by schools. The Neo will become to go-to laptop for literal children.
>>108467994Proof?
My Mom is getting one of these, I think it would be really nice for her.
>>108467994I have one of those. They're very nice. Good performance and build quality. One problem: They run Windows.
>>108467149main advantage of mac is the operating systemcompetitors should slap linux on their laptops instead of windows
>>108467149Took me a while to realize the wallpaper says "MAC"
>>108468896It actually says MilC
>>108467149>How will the competition respond to the neoBy cutting ram in half while keeping price the same.
>>108467149Most laptops at that price range have 16 GB ram.Normies will have bad time after the honeymoon phase is over.
>>108468702mac is just a closed source linux
>>108467567>can't block adsapple recommends ublock as the third extension in safari.>>108467668better software bundles. every windows laptop will get norton lifelock and netflix preinstalled!>>108467973wasn't that windows s? no one wanted it.
>>108467149>How will the competition respond to the neo, if at all?Neo is a response to chromebooks. You can buy a very nice Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 for around the same price range. But it has 16GBs RAM and a touch screen. It's ARM, fanless, just as performant, and has a great keyboard.https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/lenovo/lenovo-edu-chromebooks/chromebook-plus-gen-10-14-inch-mediatek/len101l0056
If Lenovo's smart, they'll release a budget thinkpad with Linux for around $600-700, and that'll actually bring down Neo sales. But of course they'll keep on selling shitty "idea pads" with half of laptop filled with Israeli spyware and soldered ram.
>>108469328>wasn't that windows s? No.
>>108467149>Add homebrew and macports>replace finder by thunar>remove the autistic icon bar shit on the bottom>install chrome and vscodeAh, much better!
>>108467149It'll probably be better for everyone looking into a midrange laptop since prices will drop due to Apple competition.
>>108467149They couldn't do ahit when the m1 dropped they probably won't do shit now either
>>108467149Wildcat Lake is gonna be Intel's response. Laptop manufacturers will probably choose to put better hardware and more RAM than to improve the build quality and the materials, as usual. I don't know how they're gonna fix their 45% NTSC 250-300 nits display issue, that's really a massive downgrade from the Neo
>>108467149My old $1000 thinkpad lelnovo (2013) is betterIt should be priced around $500 by now and it used to run games in ultra
By just not ripping off their consumers with half the specs?

retro 12 inch thinkpad with a non shit keyboard
>PS5 now costs more than an entry level MacBook What the fuck?
>>108467149Microsoft seeing the pushback on AI and people openly recommending Linux distributions coupled with this might be what is changing their tune a little bit.
>>108467149They can’t. The hardware isn’t there. Mac actually does make good computers.
Saars, a gorgeous video comparing Apple to Windows has been released by the best youtuber. Please do the needful and go watch it.
>>108467567Are you retarded?
>>108468168Your mom is also getting one of these *points to my penis*.
>>108470561Wow I can’t wait to get 45 minutes of battery life.
>>108475701She's happily married tyvm, I wish we could say the same for your mother.
>>108473801>advertising your boyfriendKill yourself>but I wasPosting someone even if you hate them is advertising you are putting their face and name into peoples minds. Basically you're a walking billboard for them. Faggot.

>>108467149why does only the purple one have a colored keyboard
Who cares, it's not a market I'm apart of or ever will be. I use more niche and more powerful machines.
>>108469328Windows Ass, I mean S, was "optimized" by not letting you install programs outside of its app store.
>>108467149The high end of the education market will switch but no one else will, price is still a concern. However, expect responses. Qualcomm is the best positioned to take on that market, they'll probably repurpose dud chips for laptops from smartphones like Apple did, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is basically trading blows with Apple's latest A19 chip on efficiency and performance and will handily best the A18.From x86, I think the laptop manufacturers will drive and force some new SKU built specifically to tackle Apple's single core low multicore approach. Wildcat Lake is there from Intel but no way it's even remotely close in single core, but it is a good step that they finally updated it from 12th gen Alder Lake tech. It will be enough to get the same Apple efficiency with lower performance which is enough for the Chromebook and low end laptops to get the chip. But higher end will have issues, they'll probably drive down costs on sub 1k laptops to that price to more effectively compete with OLED and etc. to beat out certain aspect of Apple machines. And crickets on AMD when they are making hand over fist on Epyc servers.
>>108467149I was watching a raid array rebuild and zening out and it hit me, normies like you, apple marketing shill spammers, you will never be able to have an offline LANYou are too stupid and lazy. It's simply beyond you.The reasons why you would need one are incomprehensibe to someone who thinks brands are status symbols. The fact that LAN cables don't have a brand that signifies status to fools means you can't even understand why LAN cables exist or who would want one. I mean you know you are lying and selling awful underpowered overpriced 8gb uninspired thrash that traps consumers into an awful corporate walled garden cloud portal devices hell but you are so lacking ability, characater, morals, technical ability you are willing to spam this junk for low wages. That's your life. You probably spend most of it on food and rent and then use the free apple homosexual mating call product you get to sit in starbucks trying to hit on other men, hoping some elderly faggot will adopt you and you can live with them as a carer/prositute in exchange for some near geriatric ejaculating in your anus. Even if you won a lottery you would spend it all on overpriced, poor value brandslop logos and subscriptions, the little brain you have was completely overpowered by modern marketing, so much so you ended up a minion of it.You're the perfect example of the future digital slave, you will have to subscribe to get access to remote storage, cloud games, music, movies and computing resources accessed via terrible tiny screened, overpriced devices with awful specs deliberately designed to be useless for anything other that cloud access portals. Yet you will proudly display your slave brand logo as if telling the world you are a good slave before you go and let some geriatric ejaculate in your anus for food and then spend any time you have left spamming apple marketing idiocy in desperation to get another free sample because it means everything to you to own gank brandslop
