The only concern I have about it
I want to buy a laptop for home use. I have a Mac mini M1 which I use for storage of documents, photo and music library local storage. The laptop would be for family usage, shopping, travels, administration, media consumption. Long iPad Pro user but fed up with it, not up to the tasks despite being a great machine crimped by the OS and app design imho.
I am sure that the Neo is perfect for these tasks.
However I am concerned about durability: the computers I buy usually last for a decade or so, don’t care so much if I don’t have the latest OS after a while.
Will the Neo be up to a long longevity given the almost two years old A18? This is my main concern. To address that I would consider buying a MacBook Air, despite the M5 being an overkill for my intended use. I know however that 7-8 years of top performance and another 2-3 of decent daily usage are assured.
