> i paid $599 for this disappointment. the thinkpad cost me $180 on ebay like seven years ago and i think it’s mocking me now. The guy is comparing a $200 ebay thinkpad with linux compared to a macbook with a modern operating system. They're not the target demographic, I can tell you right now schools and (non-tech) parent's aren't going to buy their kids ebay laptops with linux on them. You might as well say the neo sucks because a 6 year old m1 ebay macbok is a better deal. It's apples to oranges.
