>>108547305do you ever stop from using gaming benchmarks to consider for a second that you look like a manchild retard doing that posted from my RHEL machine
>>108547305The Macbook Neo dominates because it has the highest build quality by far at the $599 price point. It does every task flawlessly except for high end 3D modeling/gaming and complex video editing, which are niche for the vast majority of people. Simply put it's the highest quality device for the price that does everything people use it for very efficiently.Now if you do want to do those things the budget Neo cannot, then luckily Apple also makes the fastest laptop GPU in the world.
>>108547494>running RHEL on a $600 system without features that even a $100 celeron craptop would haveThe joke is on you.
>>108547305gamertards can't comprehend that people use their computer for work and outside so having something actually built well matters
>>108547305>CPU is shit at linuxYou buy a Mac if you want to run macOS. Period.
>no Thunderbolt>USB 2.0>60GB/s theoretical memory bandwidth >deliberately made worse than MBA in every measurable wayIt's a toy computer in a nice shell.
>>108547941>use their computer for workcan't fire up even single vm with 8gb welded ram.neo is just web browser terminal
>>108547941Every employer i have ever worked for has provided me with either a laptop or mini pc set up. I have never used a personal machine for work.
>>108547305Jeez, I wish I could get a slower processor for double the power consumption
>>108547305>Are iToddlers mentally illthey have been for 20 years now at least. the last good thing that came from apple was the ipod and even then there were probably other mp3 players that were cheaper and better as it always is with shit from apple
I don't actually get this thing about "you're buying a computer for X not for Y".The laptop at the top is capable of doing pretty much most productive tasks you can do on the Neo. You're not losing out on a lot of software there. It's not a PC for gaming exclusively. I don't see why asking for a computer that can do more for a similar or lower price is somehow wrong.
>>108548040I don't think anons necessarily means a job, you can work by getting commissions to draw something
>>108547967Anon, macos is unix
>>108548040>I have never used a personal machine for work.Where I work we only provide windows VM, no actual hardware whatsoever.
>>108547305>compares a laptop on sale to one at full price>picks out results without the thermal pad mod>>108547985of course its worse than a MBA. it's the cheaper option. do you not understand the basics of business?>>108548011that lunar lake chip OP is so proud of has "welded RAM" also.

>>108547494will apple shills ever move away from obviously manipulated synthetic benchmarks as evidence of anything other than apple is full of shit?if the geekbench and cinebench numbers were real, the chip should be able to hang in gaming. Apple silicon isnt bad but it depends on hand tuning for maximum performance where as on x86 you just compile and go. it matters a lot desu
>>108549200well, retard, geekbench and cinebench results that get cited are cpu tests. apple doesn't ship gaming gpus. you want to look at some real tests? how about browserbench? everyone uses their browser all day.
>>108547527Build quality is less important than performance tho and the build quality of the neo is not worth 600
>>108548051>MOAR GHz mean MOAR fastar and betterear
>>108549481maybe for you that's true, but some of us are tired of decades of shitty plastic laptops.
>>108549481Performance in what specifically? If you're not doing those three niche tasks I mentioned, then the Neo will be snappy as fuck for everything you're doing.
>>108549398>apple doesn't ship gaming gpus.the intel chip is about 3 tflops, the apple chip is at 2tflops, yet its less than half as fast with a better cpu and more bandwidth feeding it? >moving the goalposts to another easily debunked benchmarkhttps://psilly.com/experiments/polygons.htmlthis html 5 generative art literally runs faster on my haswell desktop which scores way lower than my iphone 13 pro, apple performance isnt fucking real and I know it because I own their products along side other vendors.
