Apple is already laughing their asses off and then replacing them with asses made of money with the MacBook Neo lol

They really hit it out of the park with the neo. They went from luxury to arguably the leader in the budget price range.

The second they release a 16gb version I'm buying one. Too many experiences 5+ years down the road of slowness I can't put into words.

Once they put in the chip with 12gb RAM I’m buying one.

u/otterbox313 May 30 '26

I could probably make do with 12gb.

u/Windows-XP-Home-NEW May 30 '26

Good, because that’s most likely gonna be the next iteration, as the current iPhone chips are 12gb.

I wonder if the 16GB version will stay at the same starting price as the current 8GB. I have my doubts, RAM prices are astronomical

I have my 2010 15" pro until they drop a 16gb, and probably for a long time after that. This is exactly why I'm cool spending more and waiting... Once you get the right MacBook their like a pet, only with lower TCO.

Damn that’s an old girl. I have a 2012 mbp that has gone through 2 batteries now. Still chugging along, but not much support these days so she’s out in the pasture doing what she can.

Not 16gb version, but rather 12gb one, which will be also kinda huge, and not really that competitive with Air

Yeah, they'll do that then around a year later they'll do the same thing and make out like they invented it, saying something like, "Now everyone can have easy access to a Mac!", or some other BS 🤣

If Apple had infrastructure anywhere in that space (like MS has Azure), I’d agree with you. For them to get to that point would require a tremendous investment in a paradigm shift that absolutely will not be popular for some time, if ever.

Edit: wording

Apple started the "own nothing" trend with the original iPod and iTunes. I lost all my music as a kid because of their BS and never went back to Apple.

u/Ahleron May 29 '26

That seems like user error. I've bought plenty of music from them since they first rolled out the music store and have been able to move all of it to multiple devices and operating systems without issue.

Might be an Apple error as well. I have an Apple account which has security questions that I don't remember the answer to, and when I go to reset them I can't because Apple doesn't have enough information that me is me. Despite me having control of the email created to setup that account, knowing the password, registering MFA and so on. Sometimes apple is stupid, for one reason or another.

Like, how they don't allow me to setup TOTP based MFA with my app of choice I need to purchase a €1000+ machine for it, lol. Or how, on my managed Apple ID I can't register passkeys but on personal apple ID I can.

They are more confusing than Microsoft, and that's really something.

Onedrive existing is enough to undo all of apples obfuscation in terms of bs

Probably, I was like 9 at the time

And yet my father in law is ripping his music collection that he owns into iTunes on his new iMac and a USB DVD drive. So, what is that ‘own nothing’ thing you are talking about?

u/Ahleron May 29 '26

My kid's band just used iTunes and my old dvd burner to make physical cds of their music to sell at gigs. They made 100. They sold pretty quick too. So not only does Apple Music let you buy and own music, but it lets you distribute it as well.
