The shine of the Neo just rubbed off somewhat.
- Quothling 3mo agoNo kidding, I was considering one to replace my 8g air m1. Which was questionable to begin with performance wise, but it's so worn after all these years. Certainly won't do it now.
- lapcat 3mo agoYes and no. Relatively speaking, MacBook Neo is still quite cheap, especially since iPad and MacBook Air received even greater price increases. And Apple's competitors are surely experiencing the same component shortages.
- drnick1 3mo agoThe $599 XPS13 is a better value, and it can run Linux unlike the Neo.
- Kirby64 3mo agoUntil they raise the price on that too. Dell has explicitly stated it's a "limited time" price, so don't be shocked if it becomes the $699 XPS13 almost immediately.
- drnick1 3mo agoMaybe, but Apple has already raised it, and you can still buy the XPS (a more capable device that supports Linux) for $599.
- Kirby64 3mo agoOr you could buy a MacBook Neo on various retailers who still have it for $599. Heck, it’s on sale for $589 on Amazon right now. I don’t think the market shopping for $600 laptops is the same market that wants something that runs Linux.
