MacBook Neo 4-Day Update, This Is So Much More Than a Cheap Mac

Four days into using the MacBook Neo, I’m more convinced than ever that a lot of people judged this laptop without understanding it.

I got the MacBook Neo on launch day, and after actually using it, I’m convinced a lot of reviewers judged it by the wrong standard. It’s not perfect, but for $600, the Neo feels shockingly premium, fast for everyday use, and far better than the internet has been giving it credit for.

What I’ve Been Building Lately: SatBench, My Weather and Satellite Side Project

SatBench is the weather and satellite side project I’ve been building over the last six months while TechInform was quiet.
