Great first MacBook
Style: 256GB | Magic Keyboard, Color: Indigo, Set: Without AppleCare+
My first MacBook, bought a month ago, and I love it. Affordable way to learn about the Apple OS.
Love the blue color, it works well with my four year old external monitor that I use with my 15 inch PC, and a small Logitech mouse - I cannot stand touchpads. I don’t mind this mechanical touchpad too much, though, yet I prefer my mouse.
The only thing you need to be aware of, is that it might get a bit warm while charging. I use the Neo on top of a laptop cooling fan, mostly because this laptop is a bit too “slippery” on my lap due to its light weight , just over 2 pounds.
My grandson will pick one up to use at college in the fall. It will be a great laptop for him to take notes in class. And it is a great first MacBook for those of us who want to eventually change to all Apple - I already have an iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
So, enjoy it - I sure do.

Same Apple quality for less $
Style: 256GB | Magic Keyboard, Color: Citrus, Set: Without AppleCare+
I’ve had my Neo about a week now and I love it. I was hesitant because it uses an iPhone chip instead of an M chip like other MacBooks. But my 2020 MacBook Air M1 started having display screen issues (vertical and horizontal lines, flickering) so I needed to get something before it failed completely. I didn’t want to spend $1,100+ for a new Air, so I researched the Neo. It’s actually faster than my old Air and I’ve had no problems at all using it for everything I always use my laptops for, which is mostly writing books, email, web browsing, Zoom meetings, and video streaming. I haven’t had any performance problems with a dozen or more tabs open at the sand time. I got the 8Gb, which is plenty even for the thousands of documents and photos I have saved. I have entire book drafts of 200+ pages saved, a doctoral dissertation, and hundreds of research articles saved for my dissertation. It’s more than adequate for my needs. It’s very light weight. The citrus color is pretty. The keyboard is very responsive and feels even better than the Air. The battery doesn’t last as long as the Air before needing recharged but it’s still long lasting. No complaints.
