Played with a Neo at the Apple Store. It was far better than I was expecting. Loaded the 150mb sample image in affinity photo and it chewed through it no problem. Very snappy.
I was about to say it’s not powerful enough to be my daily laptop but it probably is. I like my MBP more but not sure if $2000 more.
I have a mini on my desk at work and it’s awesome. Driving 3 displays without missing a beat.
Not gonna happen with Apple’s SOC. But you can upgrade the SSD. I bumped mine to 2TB relatively painlessly with a aliexpress module.
Who cares? People like different things.
It’s what I’d get my kids if they needed a laptop right now. Easy choice, blows Chromebook garbage away.
Apple’s security is pretty good and will work against you in this case. If you know the password you can unlock it but otherwise you’re probably kinda boned for the time being.
You could still hold onto it and hope someone comes out with an exploit down the road that bypasses the security but it’s a longshot.
If it has an eSIM I would power it down completely or store in a faraday pouch to block signals to it, as if they do a remote erase on it there’s no coming back from that.
What’s the difference between Stuffing Ads, and placing ads? Little bit dramatic trying to set the tone much?
Oh well.
They have taken away? Surely you mean government has taken away and given to themselves?
Not just schools. Parents. Now my kids won’t have to suffer with a Chromebook.
You sound happy. Job done!
I think that India had the skill and QC if you wanted to pay for it, but if china was working fine there was little incentive to change something that worked. Political tensions made the change necessary moreso than economic or skill reasons.
The whole middle class issue in China is going to become a big problem for the Chinese government. They’ve developed their entire economy on being the low cost maker of everything and if that goes away they’ll have an economic collapse.
Not really any point. Mac OS takes all of the best parts of a Unix OS and wraps them in the only GUI interface that truly doesn’t suck.
The people that need more than 8gb are not the target market. This is for people that want a word processor, web browser and email. Not much more.
If you’re editing video, photos, etc you are not the market.
The grifter? That’ll be a no.
I’m always surprised when people can’t find a place to charge during the day. But my phone is 2 years old now and regularly manages a full day quite easily. Maybe the phone isn’t the problem.
I use cloud services but I also have everything vital backed up in 3 places. It would suck to get locked out but I won’t lose everything because I don’t trust anyone that much.
Gotta be upset about something! The media says so!
You’re complaining about a keyboard btw not a Mac. Lol.
Too bad. I just bought one to use in my office with my own money because they tried to give me a PC.
