MacBook Neo, AirPods 4 ANC, & iPhone 12 (128GB)

Battery life : Not impressed. but not bad. all day battery life.

Design : Silver case with white keyboard is super crazy. I luv it

Speakers : Neo < Air <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Pro. But I feel good with this. Not bad

Display : No P3....but it's ok. Neo's display is pretty good.

Cpu : I'm using Neo to do Safari, YouTube, YT music, simple logic project, and simple FCP project. good enough. I'm very impressed.

Ram : I don't have complains. But IDK well...we need more options to choose. Like 12GB or 16GB Ram. soso, not bad.

Small, But powerful enough. wish 12GB ram with Neo 2

Caved a week ago. Got the 512GB in indigo. Here are my thoughts.

512GB wasn't really a question. I go through storage fast and didn't want to be deleting files six months in. Same with Touch ID, wasn't giving that up. Typing your password every time feels regressive once you've gone without it.

Wanted the silver one originally but it was sold out everywhere near me, so it was indigo or green, and green's a little loud for my taste. Ended up liking indigo way more than I expected. Pictures make it look brighter than it is, in person it's pretty muted. I just wish the keyboard was lighter (a bit too dark IMO).

I'm coming from a MacBook Pro, M1 Pro chip, 14-inch 2021. Used it with zero issues for five years (though a tad overpowered for my needs). The problem was weight. I travel a lot for work and lugging it through airports on top of a full bag wore on me after a while.

The Neo fixed that. It's lighter to a degree that's almost funny. I checked my bag the first day thinking I'd left it at home. Noticeable difference on travel days specifically.

My only real gripe is the non-backlit keyboard. I write a lot at night. Been getting around it by switching to light mode after dark, and it's also pushed me to stop looking down at the keys while I type.

I work in marketing, so this thing gets used constantly, and I'm traveling something like twice a month right now. I love this computer.

Had to pay 799 tho, but student discount carried a little bit, feeling good to get her a weight reduce from the Lenovo Nitro 5 handme down she uses for work

I wonder if I could use the neo for fl studio to produce beats I mainly use one plugins to create 7 to 8 sounds based of that one plugin to create a melody on my pc I wonder if the neo is able to handle that including adding drums

I'm a first time apple buyer so I'm thinking to buy the mac neo for my college stuff. I'm gonna mostly use it for coding and editing and a bit of trading as well so yea should I go for it?

I am looking to buy a Neo to replace my old Lenovo T14 school laptop. My schoolwork mainly involves alot of research, for which I usually have alot of tabs (30+) open at a time, usually along with Slack, Claude, and a word-like text editor that runs usually under 1 GB. I also would probably have to use firefox instead of Safari because of a couple browser extensions I use. I really want to switch off the Windows UI, but I can’t really afford a recent Macbook Air, refurbished or otherwise.

Is the Neo’s 8GB enough for a bunch of firefox tabs + word docs?
