>>108552003>it's never gonna have more than 8GB!The first version indeed is never going to have more than 8gb.No one said this about a v2, exactly because point 3>nobody is buying the Neo!>current Macbook Neo selling like hotcakesOf course they are, people would buy anything with an apple logo. They should have put it everywhere on the mac wheels and stand>12GB already on the way since next A19 Pro comes with 12GB"Next laptop with a smartphone chip is going to be upgraded with the next laptop chip"Of course it willOP is a retard as always
>>108552003drop in a 16gb and i'll buy one in pink
>>108552003still has a shit sata3 speed ssd, unusable
>>108552117>next laptop chipnext phone chip*
It’s their new way to profit from old phone chips. Of course it’s going to become a regularly updated product.
It's pretty obvious why Apple is selling a ton of them, are you slow in the head?>highest build quality that can be had for $599>performs extremely well for the vast majority of laptop use cases
>>108552127The A18 is faster than an M1, it's more than enough for everyone except power users.
>>108552194>highest build quality that can be had for $599>no backlit keyboardlelmao
>>108552142>It’s their new way to profit from old phone chips.bloody brilliant
>>108552201What laptop has a better build quality for $599?
>>108552201>>108552212>>108552194The $599 version is selling so well that Amazon had to lower the price of the $699 version to $689 to move them faster. People literally just care about $$$.
>>108552239People care about value.
>>108552239Did you also notice the new Macbook Air is already down $150 because people are buying the Neo instead?
Sorry I'm not getting anything below 16GB
>>108552342an system that needs more than 8gb is jeetslop fucking garbage.
>>108552351So macOS?
>>108552342>Sorry I'm not getting anything below 16GBThat's coming with the A21 Pro. So just wait 3 years.
>>108552355nigger you just admitted that you can't live without more. great self-own there.
>>10855200312GB is barely enough to run W10/W11 pro. I don't even get out of bed for less than 24.
>>108552003>slurp the cum off my lipsoh boy, i can't wait for more apple products. i LOVE tim cock, haha, err, i mean tim cook!
>>108552377It's not me that can't live without more, it's the OS
>>108552385>It's not me that can't live without more,>Sorry I'm not getting anything below 16GBdon't try and sound cool on the internet if you're a bit of a retard anon.
>>1085523988GB or 12GB is still not enough
>>108552430>immediately pivotslol.
>>108552126It's literally fine. What are you loading off the massive 256GB SSD into the stonking 8GB of address space that 500MB/sec isn't fast enough?
>>108552126>still has a shit sata3 speed ssd, unusableeverybody told you never to buy the 1st gen of a new product
>>108552194Why should I care about the highest build quality (and that's mathematically debatable due to the astronomical margins they have) when mid tier but sufficient build quality + higher performance is available.
>>108552351>an system
>>108552003That's good news actually, hopefully it incentivices Windows laptop manufacturers to get their shit together
>>108552117so wrongso bitter
>>108553032is the OP
It does not sit right with me that my iPhone can run a whole fucking MacOS, yet if I update it for more than 2 years, it becomes laggy. Windows laptops do not get slow until after 10 years or so where you begin feeling it, and even then, you can nuke server on it and continue to use it.A19 chip or A17 or whatever, doesn't really matter, inside a laptop you would expect that the laptop would be designed to last 10 years. It either won't, or we get proof that apple intentionally throttles iPhones.I am glad they released a $600 laptop, but I think you can get a better windows laptop for the same money, bigger screen and more performance, yes it will be uglier and yes you will need to install linux on it, but if we are talking value truly, although, this is the price that Air should be, i cant beleieve macbook air is so expensive now.
>>108552117>The first version indeed is never going to have more than 8gb.no shit retard
>>108553102>my iPhone can run a whole fucking MacOS, yet if I update it for more than 2 years, it becomes laggy.My dad's iPhone 12 is the same as it was when I bought it for him. Just used it over the weekend when adding Signal.
>>108553110What OS is it running?
>>108552003lol just wait until 2030 then it will come with 24gb
>>108553145>What OS is it running?26.whatever. Newest one.
>>108553190>lol just wait until 2030 then it will come with 24gbIf anything, the Neo has made me closer than ever to buying the Macbook Air.
>>108553103no shit, unlike the bullshit posted by the fruitbots around here
>>108552321apple is cutting into is own margins by cannibalizing its own products just to get that poorfag cash. they're cashing out on their prestige. apple is in dire straits and they're looking for the exit
>>108553667>cashing out on their prestigeSo you think they should only make expensive things.. or else it's bad? Doesn't make sense lol. To me looks like they released a solid product, and are making money and gaining more marketshare. Apple is doing amazing, especially since a lot of the other tech companies heavily gambled on AI spends while Apple did the smart thing.
>>108553706I'm not talking about price, retard. I'm talking about margins.they destroyed their margins for an increase in market share because what they truly sell are accessories and subscriptions, the latter of which they are admittedly top class in.
>>108553716>they destroyed their margins for an increase in market sharenot really. they sold unused product.
>>108552003im feeling pretty good with my m1 8GB macbook air. Hell i might get a few extra years if apple continues to support the neo.
>>108552003so 8gb of ram wasn't enough?>>108553706>especially since a lot of the other tech companies heavily gambled on AI spends while Apple did the smart thing.no, apple failed in their AI push, as seen by pushing their svp for machine learning and AI (giannandrea) out the door. they also lost their director of machine learning (goodfellow) in the return to office push. liquid ass was brought forward to cover up for that shit.
>>108553853they fuckin didn't, lol. they used their old mobile processors to save on NRE and tapeout costs, that's it.
>>108553877>im feeling pretty good with my m1 8GB macbook air.neets think you are lying
>>108552003I 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
>>108553110my mom's iPhone 12 Pro battery is absolutely destroyed, phone seems to be working fine too, I am overexaggerating a little, apple used to do it way more back in the day, now its much better
>>108554513>my mom's iPhone 12 Pro battery is absolutely destroyed, phone seems to be working fine toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbmgV7Oyp0w
>>108554472nice copypasta, bot
>>108552117>The first version indeed is never going to have more than 8gb.well duh
>>108552003Macfags don't bother with the pricetag. They're so loyal that they'll just pay whatever Apple asks. Debt means nothing to them as long as they get their social status icon.
>>10855200316GB is literally the absolute minimum acceptable amount unless you somehow install linux on it.
>>108553102My 13 pro still runs like new. Is your battery degraded?
>>108557938Same with my 13 Mini although I turned off their silly frutiger meme transparency effects which were the only thing that slowed it down.Changed the battery once.
>>108552460>y-you dont need nvme that laptops had since 2016!
>>108560305I have no idea where /g/ gets the bullshit 500mb/s figure. You can easily go confirm that it's not true.
>>108560388>I have no idea where /g/ gets the bullshit 500mb/s figure./g/ repeats a lot of FUD until they believe its true
>SSD stops working >your laptop is now a paperweight That alone is the reason why I wouldn't want one. SSDs love to fail and in this case it's even worse because with so little RAM it is used for heavy swapping.
>>108552201Why the hell would you need thatJust turn the lights on
>>108561301https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIeEGeTd5DEjust take it to a competent repair person and they can put new flash chips on it.
>>108561301list of times that an SSD stopped working:
>>108561301>SSDs love to failnot the good ones
>>108561472>>108561499you have to remember that you're talking to seething windows users. they use plastic shit laptops that fail a lot.
>>108561591I dunno man, my thinkpad has been running for 10 years just fine.
>>108561599how many ssd failures?
>>108561602>how many ssd failures?I added the ssd nearly 5 years ago. It's got 87% left. Crucial MX500
>>108552003I will buy it when i can run linux on it and swap ram, nvme on it. Otherwise its DOA.
>>108561628so why the fuck do people think that mac ssds are any less reliable?
>>108561695doa for who? you, nigga? they don't care lmao
>>108561695i'm willing to use my anthropic account for the porting effort, but i estimate the API costs will be around 500k. i dm'd you my monero address.
Useless until asahi supports it.
>>108552384Go die for Israel goy.I voted for Trump 3 times and I'll vote democrat next even if their candidate is a black muslim trangender woman in a wheelchair.
>>108561717Because you can't easily changed them if they fail? In any other sane company you just replace the ssd
>>108561786but ssd's don't really fail very often. you buy applecare when you get the neo and it's covered for repair for 3 years. beyond that if for some reason it dies you take it to a repair shop, but it probably isn't going to die anyway.

>>108561717because the 16" intel macbook pros killed ssds for fun.apple did make replaceable ssds but, of course, it required a second mac to make it work.

>everyone who just bought this piece of shit got rugpulledlol
>>108562802Yeah, those ones actually still had real competitive CPUs unlike the currybooks Apple street shits out now that lose to an Intel N95.
>>108562809>got rugpulledexplain how, retard
>>108552201>backlit keyboardAre you a child who has to look at the keys to type, or something?
>>108562802they killed SSDs because of how aggressively it was swapping for lack of RAM, everyone bought the cheapest macbook to flex but couldnt actually afford proper specs and proper ram, there are still retards buying computers with 8GB of ram and apple gladly sells itSo I think apel went to more robust SSDs for more reliable swapping
>>10856282212GB is the bare minimum for a laptop in this price range, and even then it's only acceptable if it's triple-channel.
>>108552194>currynigger heap of street shit>highest build quality get a toilet currynigger
>>108562952So the "rugpull" is just "buying the 1st gen"?Happens for every company. The first iteration is always a beta test.
>>108562961>Happens for every company.Yes, but Applefags are more guilty of it than anyone else. If anything it's kind of shocking that Apple is releasing a Not Shit Edition.
>>108562971>Not Shit Edition.>12gb soldered ram>128gb soldered swapraped ssd
>>108562809>unironically buying first gen productsThanks for beta testing :)
>>108552003My two year old phone has 12GB of RAM.
>>108552430It's enough to watch YouTube and tranny videos. Which is the most apple users do.
>>108552125I wonder what is so hard about putting more RAM in there.8GB is what budget Androids are shipped with nowadays. It's outdated. Mid range Android ships with 12GB now. And they release a laptop like that. Why?Besides, future is phones with dock function that turns them into a workstation. Not his bullshit. Apple causes this segmentation on purpose, because profit, not because it is actually optimal. Basically "scam your client and oversell" > "develop the best product that actually beats competition" is what priorities of Apple really are. Always have been.
>>108552003I knew it would sell. I just also think it's shit.I'd just buy an M4 model if I wanted a Mac but until the linux support is better I'm not going to bother.
>>108552117Good morning saar, please doo the needful.Sent from my Pocophone using Tapatalk.
>>108564594>Besides, future is phones with dock function that turns them into a workstation.This has been a thing for a decade and it's never taking off, not least of which because smartphones are designed to be toys for women and children. Nobody wants to use a phone to do real work except for fucktarded zoomers who have never used another kind of electronic device.
>>108552003how did they get to 12mb, take 16mb chip and then steal part of it?
>>108564684>future is phones with dock functionOS is just too crippled to be usable in that form factor.
>>108564684>>108564709It will not be like that forever. OS is too shit for that, both Android and iPhone. But teh hardware is not. You literally only need to fix the driver blob issue. Linux touch support is half baked, but it exists, it's half way there. You could even say it is only as bad as Windows support for touch and people use those!Besides, it's the workstation in docked mode that is supposed to be a selling point, not the touching, which is too limited to do real work.Plus there possibly would be a demand on the market for a mobile device you can give to your kid without ruining his brain permanently. Phone with no gaymes and tiktoks.
>>108564837it'll be like that as long as google keeps it that way. android is the only OS that nears usability this way, and it's just as fun using a touch os with a mouse and keyboard as you'd guess. dumbed down apps with huge UI elements that were designed for a phone screen shape.
I thought of turning my main PC into a gayming machine and just grabbing one of these macbooks for anything else.But why should I grab this cheapo one? For like 200€ more there's the M4 with 16GB. You can't tell me 8GB is good enough for anything but light web browsing. I had a hackintosh machine long ago (A decade to be exact) and anything below wasn't great.
>>108565121Well, you already can chroot/emulate your way into running something resembling the regular dekstop Linux inside. But it is all bogged down by Android's Linux kernel limitations. Rotten basement problem.
>>108565154What happens when your machine is good for a decade? You don't buy a new one.Don't overthink it.
How come a phone costs the same as a laptop?
>>108565173https://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-chips-android-linux-terminal-3608648/this is still true. the chip everyone wants doesn't support android terminal stuff from google.
