Hi everyone! Happy to share that I converted all 5 of my Baby IIM calls. I'll be joining my top choice this July!

​I’m currently using a 5-year-old ASUS (8GB RAM / 256GB SSD). It’s served me well (zoom calls, basic office work, no gaming) , but it struggles with multitasking and hangs occasionally. Since I’m heading into a rigorous MBA program, I know I'll be living in Excel, PowerPoint, and potentially some data viz tools.

​The Dilemma:

I have a budget of ₹70k–₹80k. I’m considering a MacBook Neo.

​Can a Mac Neo handle the heavy Excel modeling/multi-tab workflows required for an MBA for at least the next 5 years?

​

​Or should upgrade SSD in my old laptop or biy a new Windows machine (16GB RAM) within this budget?

​Would love to hear from someone who is currently using Neo
