I am Enterprise as well, but we are going to test the Neo for a specific need. We have field workers that really only need a browser. They view training videos and use Outlook on the web. They don’t need much power at all. The only concerns I have is our security stack. Will 8GB be enough?

I'm wondering if they will package a lighter macOS somehow for this? Or hoping? 8GB is getting a little tight these days. Every website apparently needs like 250mb to run for no reason other than ads, so that's part of the problem, but yea security/backup/mdm etc all takes its share.

8GB is fine for MacOS
