minus-squareobstbert@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-27 days agoWhat about right now? Isn’t the MacBook Neo reasonably priced (compared to the competition) for a 16Gb RAM laptop? Edit: I was wrong, it has only 8Gb
minus-squareJtee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·8 days agoDon’t think Apple offers a 16gb Neo. It’s also $600 USD and there are many cheaper options from other manufacturers. The Neo is basically sitting in the middle between the newer iPad Airs and the iPhone 17 in terms of computing power. I personally don’t think the Neo is worth it, but if you think you need a mac device, then it’s a decent ‘budget’ option.
minus-squareREDACTED@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 days agoTo be fair, iPhones, when not buying the newest one, are quite reasonably priced too. Friend got an Iphone 16 50% cheaper than I got my Android.

minus-squareobstbert@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 days agoCrazy, I could have sworn that they announced it with 16Gb… I thought I remember that was the main selling point back then, didn’t know they went with the 8Gb as well. Thanks for checking!
