Tiny, silly, no good, minor, tedious complaint: can you visibly tell which port is USB 3 vs. USB 2 or do you have to just remember?

#42Why don’t they just allow MacOS on iPad Pro. It’s what people want.
I thought I wanted this. And in fact, I turned on the 'window' option for my iPad Pro when it came out. I did not, in fact, want this. The iPad just has totally different ergonomics, even with keyboard / trackpad / etc. Anyway, for years I've been convinced that would be the perfect combo - but in my own tests, - meh - At the very least, new hardware needs to be built that gives laptop-grade typing and trackpad. With that, then it would be upside - but I'm not sure that it would be that much cheaper than just having two devices.

#43cute netbook, I appreciate the no notch design
Too bad their software is total garbage now, I could never resign myself to that.

The ipad pro with keyboard is $1300, more than 2x the price of the Neo. Definitely not the same product category.
Re: MacBook Neo
#45$599 and available in a range of colors. My bet is this is going to be a hit with high schoolers and college students everywhere.
Reminds me of the Technicolor iPod mini of my college days. The 2000s are back, baby

Re: MacBook Neo
#47It's interesting that to get to the price point of $499 (edu) or $599 that what Apple did was
- No touchID on the base model
- 8GB of RAM
- USB 3 and the second port is USB 2
- No MagSafe.
But, you can still get a 512 gb of SSD and it adds the TouchID sensor back. For education the upgrade may actually make sense.

#48Interesting how it runs on the A18. I wonder if this means they will try to unify macOS and iOS within this decade.
in a competitive market they would have been unified a long time ago. google has been making slow steps at doing this apple wont until google does

#49$599, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB, *No* Touch ID $699, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB, Touch ID Honestly pretty fantastic product and price. This is clearly targeted towards education but I think I will happily replace by MacBook Air M1 with this :)
8GB RAM means bye-bye Electron apps and Chrome running at the same time.
Re: MacBook Neo
#50Built for Apple Intelligence. 8GB of RAM. It will be a struggle but I have no doubt it will sell really well.
