Why can't other companies make a high quality highly performant low cost laptop like Apple does? The Neo completely destroys everything in the same price bracket
>>108540254who cares its going to be discontinued next year.
>>108540254It's a nice laptop, it would be a compelling option if it had a normal operating system and a normal amount of ram.
>>108540369So you don’t like the OS. Ok.Why does it need more ram?
>>108540254$600 is not low cost and recent $600 PCs mog this thingThis only has value if you care about the apple badge more than the computer itself
>>108540254I wouldn't say other laptops have performance in the price range especially not used laptops. But Windows being a stuttery and bloated mess is definitely holding them back.Macos feels like old windows with an updated ui no weird subscription popup bullshit. Microsoft is getting weirdly intrusive the people working there are mentally ill weirdos.

Is PCmag compromised?https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/apple-macbook-neo
Is this shithole so ass ravaged that you are going to deny Apple has a huge hit on their hands? They just cornered the edu market.
>>108540726No they're right the screens were always top tier even before the m1
>>108540254x86
>>108540862How does x86 make them unable to include a high quality high resolution display, high quality metal chassis, good speakers, a great trackpad.All of these things feel like complete shoddy plastic on even most of the highly expensive Windows laptops.
Apple wins again
>>108540283>who cares its going to be discontinued next year....Says Increasingly Nervous Company For Seventh Time This Year.
Except a refurbished laptop, which is the only thing you should be buying with $600
im so sick of shills lying to people about 8gb being sufficientsent from my m4p 24gb swapbook promaybe downgrade from tahoe
because dell has 30 middlemen and apple is integrated tightly as fuck
>>108541635>im so sick of shills lying to people about 8gb being sufficientWow so did you actually use a Macbook Neo and run in to memory limitation issues yourself? All the youtube video reviews I see say in practice you don't notice any sort of slowdown with 20+ tabs open. You realize the OS can just deallocate memory from inactive tabs right?Why the Neo dominates: For $600 you get build quality that even the most expensive Windows laptops lack. You get basically a luxury tier physical device that you can hold in your hands every day for a bargain. This device can do everything you want unless you do just a few niche things. Incredible value for 99% of people.Macbook Neo can do everything you need except these three niches: *professional* video editing, *professional* 3D design, and high-end gaming. Video Editing: You can still edit videos that aren't extremely complex 4K based workflows. If you are doing that then video editing is probably part of your job, why are you using a budget laptop for your job when you need an expensive desktop display that costs 4x the Neo for this task in the first place?3D Design: You can still do this on a Macbook Neo. If you need more, then this is probably your job, so why are you using a budget laptop for your job?high-end gaming: AAA games just plain aren't good nowadays, meaning the Neo can play the vast majority of games worth playing. If you are a "gamer" then yeah a budget laptop also isn't for you.
>>108540283Apple didn't even discontinue Apple Vision Pro and even updated its hardware, what makes you think they're gonna discontinue the Neo
>>108542354They updated iOS to x64 only like 15 years ago and /g/ is still mad about it because it gave the iPad 2 app store compatibility issues
>>108540977They just used something compact without a huge lens. It doesn't even look thst great, but it's good enough quality.
>>108540254buy an ad
>>108540254>It's just fast enough to handle basic productivity workso it's slightly inferior to the $200 HP Stream laptop i bought at Walmart and installed Linux on
>>108540830>They just cornered the edu market.lol that *was* their market, decades ago
>>108540977Andjeet sisters.....
>>108540369>normal operating systemwindows is shit and linux isn't normal, so what operating system are you talking about? macos (from which ios is derived) is a posix compliant unix distro, but apparently that's not good enough for you.
>>108545217>posix compliant unix distro,Nobody care about this 1970 shit.I prefer having a bar on the file explorer where i can type the address where i want to go and have a open console option on the right click than some sub comands that look like ones you could find in a terminal operated machine.
>>108540330He's one of the good ones. Used to be one of the hosts of the Slashfilm podcast, maybe he still is.
>>108540254Man I'm loving my Neo, once it craps out or I get bored of it I'm buying an M5 macbook air or pro.

>>108540254It's mostly the shitshow that is Windows that's the problem.

>>108545400>I prefer having a bar on the file explorer where i can type the address you can kind of do that in macos, it's cmd shift g to copy a file pathname u select then cmd opt c or right click hold opt to see copy as path name. i forgot what exactly but if the file path has specific characters this doesn't work wellid tentatively mention the mac method is probably more efficient because it's steeped in shortcuts as im a blender fag so im acutely aware that clicking things abates efficiency. however, id also kno that efficiency is a double edged sided dildo (ass_to_ass.gif) and quickly doing things aint the same as doing things well. e.g. premature ejaculation, acting vs reacting etc>>108540726afaik practically all the cheap wangblows shit were equal or sub 400 nits, but idk about oled panels. going outside you'd want around 600 or more nits (macbooger pros can use software to tap into its hdr to increase brightness to above 1k nits: they have 1600 nit screens) >>108540977dafaq is she related to moon man just look at that chin
>>108546065The M4 chip is quite fast, i had to work with one and it trounced my Ryzen 2xxx CPU in single core performance.However i hated every minute of it because OSX.If i ever have to use OSX, i will be replacing finder with thunar, and probably hacking out that autism application bar out of the deal.
>>108540977Typical woman putting themself in front of the object.
Samsung Galaxy books already have better specs at lower price.What more do you want?
>>108546218Retard sister you can just disable the menu bar if you are talking about top one, it's in settings kek.>>108546231Just reminder samsung phones got exposed for having preinstalled israeli spyware on them kek.
>>108546218get a toilet curryniggeran N95 from a decade ago destroys your currynigger silicon
>>108546268have you considered the fact that it's a $600 laptop and not a $3000 200 watt server processor that still has half the single core speeds? are you schizophrenic?
>>108547346if a program only needs a single core, it's not performance intensive in the first placeeverything that actually needs performance will be multicoreoh, your currynigger silicon gets destroyed in multicore by everything? too badget a toilet currynigger
>>108541635>im so sick of shills lying to people about 8gb being sufficienti remember when the product line was moved to 16gb of ram for apple intelligence, but that has been buried
>>108541635>>108547398iNiggers need to be rounded up and lynched like the subhuman nigger trash they are tbhfam.
>>108546172Never used ios much, but wow that sounds tedious
>>108540254The screen is the only thing I like about it. I also have another 250$ refurbished windows laptop that is slightly faster.
>>108540614>$600 is not low cost and recent $600 PCs mog this thingevery pc no matter how low budget it is will mog any kind of laptop, it's a pretty silly comparison. if you need something portable there isn't much choice other than some overpriced plastic brick that will overheat constantly
>>108549106Laptops are PCs. You are thinking about a desktop.
The Neo has the highest build quality on the market for $599.
>>108542063High end Windows laptops have a build quality that's just as good as Apple. But you're most likely paying more for that than a macbook pro. In everything else you're correct.
