If you think MacBook Neo is a bad deal, it’s not for you

Macworld

Apple announced an all-new MacBook this week at a starting price of just $599, and as you might have guessed, everyone has opinions about it. If the social media feeds are to be believed, the most common critique is that it’s not actually a good deal because it’s slow trash garbage with only 8GB of RAM and will be obsolete and useless in just a couple of years.

Obviously, Apple’s not going to make a Mac laptop as good as the MacBook Air at nearly half the price. But are the compromises really dealbreakers?
