Colors - what could have been

[tonmischa]

That green, orange and red would have been awesome Neo colors.

TBH I was hoping for that exact kind of green! (went with Citrus instead)

Also the MacBook NEO won't close with that protector will it. It will be too thick.

The MB Neo ships with a thin sheet of paper between the screen and the keyboard, like all other MacBooks. The protector doesn't need to be thicker than that. Any MB can close with such a protector on, and many people use them without issue.

I have a thin microfibre cloth that sits between the kb and screen.

It's like Apple forgot how to anodize aluminum in interesting colors across most of their product line, so their idea of a color is "start bold, then mix in as much silver or gray until it's barely recognizable as anything but silver or gray."

Stumbled on this just now. That green, orange and red would have been awesome Neo colors. 🥲

I wish wish wish they'd bring these super saturated colors back. The world is a ****** place right now and designers are failing us with these dull, lifeless colors they keep putting out across all products (cars for example, why are they only black, white, gray, red, and blue most of the time!? And I can't tell you the last time I saw fun colored dress shirts....)

Honestly, I wish they'd bring back the iPod Nano, but equipped for wifi. I miss both these and the shuffle.

As for the Neo, it would be great if they followed the color scheme from the OP. We need more color in this world. A red Neo would've been an instant buy, as I did with every (PRODUCT)RED device they released previously.

I would absolutely buy another one of those tiny square nanos with the clip and blue tooth capability.

Let me just say this. Whoever comes up with a matte screen protector with an off-white bezel option is going to sell a lot of those.
Not everybody wants a white/matching bezel, but many do. I certainly do.

While I get some people like the aesthetics of light bezels, there are many reasons why TVs or high end monitors do not have light bezels.

Want to see a chrome MacBook. Chrome will help with reflections and glare on the screen.
