Review of the Neo from a Android/Windows user
The Macbook Neo was my first ever Apple purchase and my first laptop in over 10 years. I am a windows user as I am a PC gamer and I have been using Androids basically my whole life. I started school back in August of 2025 and at first it was fine doing all the work I needed to on my main PC but I just wanted the portability the laptop provides. Also got it before the price increase and I got my student discount!
I use my Neo for schoolwork, light coding, Youtube/Twitch viewing, and even tried some light gaming. The 8gb of ram hasn't been an issue at all. Sure I'd like 16 or 32 but for what I needed back when I bought the neo 8 is enough.
When it comes to adjusting to the Apple world... It did take a minute to learn the keyboard shortcuts and I still sometimes try and do windows+shift+S for screenshot which ofc does not work on the mac.
Now android world. I do not plan on switching to Iphone as I love the Android ecosystem but If you are also an Android user and questioning if you should get a mac just hear this. There are plenty of apps to make up for the lack of "apple magic" stuff like KDE connect has been a lifesaver and so cool to mess around with software I otherwise would have no reason to use.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and hope to get at least a few years out of this boy before I get a pro one day.
