The district posted the reasons why here: https://www.kcpublicschools.org/article/2920620 This was also highlighted in the Apple earnings call a...

    Mother's Day gift Neo was a success!

    Wife was so happy this morning on Mother's Day with her new Blush Neo!😍 Did a data migration from her 2019 Mac that was slow, hot, fans spinning, half hour battery life - 16" MBP. Her response: "why didn't I have the Neo years ago!" 🤣

    Even Linus give the Neo a glowing review

    Apple must be doing something right to get mostly praise from LMG. I lost track of how many times they made videos complaining about Apple. I'm sure the Neo is a great option for a lot of people, but I am like the Tim Toolman of computers. I want MOAR POWER!

    Rosetta 2 on Neo

    Wasn't sure what to call this thread. I love playing Pillars of Eternity - it was the first game I got on my Mac way back in 2015, and still a classic today! As it left the Mac App store a while back, and I wanted to be able to play the DLCs, I had re-purchased it a few years ago on GOG. So I...

    Just Bought the Indigo MacBook Neo - Honestly Blown Away by What Apple Pulled Off

    I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 256 GB Indigo Neo. My needs are pretty simple. This is just my personal laptop, and I mostly use it for documents, spreadsheets, browsing the web, email, some light photo editing, AI-use and watching things like Netflix and Sky News. My work laptop is a...

    PSA, you know you are not the NEO's target audience when...

    After reading some of the overly negative (and repetitive) forum comments on the NEO, I am putting this out there as a PSA. For the record I am NOT saying who should or should not buy a NEO. But maybe you shouldn't complain so vociferously if you are NOT the target audience. You likely are the...

    I found an interesting mistake at the Apple Store today...

    Can you spot it? It should be quite easy 😂 The funny thing is that the "specialist" I mentioned it to said "oh, right, that's because you can configure it that way" (?). EDIT: The S before the price is because I live in Singapore, haha

    Pro Apps Educational bundle question - will it even load on a Neo ?

    I totally forgot I had purchased the $199 Educational Pro Apps bundle (Final Cut, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor, Mainstage) years ago and only have it loaded onto my Studio Mac. Will it load onto a Neo - how many devices will it work on? I don't expect full functionality, but wondering if the...

    Imagine how snappy MacBook Neo with Sequoia would be

    The biggest downside (other than no backlit keys) is having to live with Tahoe on the Neo. Do you think Apple has done enough optimization for this device to avoid a terrible "Windows Aero on a Celeron" experience?
