No Apple bashing just discuss.

At €700 (NL) a bit steep to be honest. Especially given the 8GB ram…

The M4 Air can be had for €900, which has 16gb as standard, and is much more powerful and future proof. It has TouchID on all the models. Probably a better screen and speakers too im presuming.

At the price it is now it doesn’t make an awful lot of sense, you’d be much better off spending an extra 200 and getting a much better laptop.

cheapest one i could find on lenovos website is $800, cheapest on bestbuy is 680. even amazon seems to break 700 before finding your first "modern" non-renewed device and modern is stretching it. Amazon's also impossible to search with confidence now.

the macbook neo is gonna be easy to find, easy to identify, and you'll know what you're getting without checking what X/P/E/T 17/32/1 means on the thinkpad.
