Yesterday I walked over to my local Apple Store and got a MacBook Neo! I got it in the indigo color, the 255 with no fingerprint sensor. So far so good as they say -- I'm currently resetting my old outdated slow Windows PC for the trash. I'll post updates and reflections as time goes by -- but my first impressions are very positive. This Neo is a very strong PC.
Got a tip for us?

Not necessary to "ratchet" anything down - I'm comparing the Neo to an older Windows PC it's replacing. In that context, its performance is quite good. 😎

Got it. There are threads here on how the Neo can’t handle certain tasks like some video editing etc, or how the display is worse than the air. If that is not your expectation the Neo to me will be a fine laptop.

People need to calm down it’s 500 less. What do you exp3ct? Jeeeez people sometimes. Get the air if those are issues. Oh wait they’re broke!? So let’s just complaint about a good solid product instead and whine how they can’t put a m5 processor and mid level screen on an education discount 500 dollar laptop. Wait 600. Smh.

Leaving our work Macs & PCs at home!
Loving both our 2 Neos - hers is the base Blush Neo for $499 and mine is the Touch ID Indigo Neo for $599.
Both EDU pricing.
Both going next week to Central Europe on our 2 week trip and not worrying about them as the price point is so low and not having to use them for work.

Yes! One of the most attractive features of the Neo is it fits EASILY in my EDC bag and can go everywhere with me. Of course that can be done with every laptop, lol -- however the Neo cries out to be an EDC device!
