The Neo Broke the MacBook Air

The MacBook Neo is surprisingly good; which brings into question the MacBook Air’s purpose.

Sandwiched between the Neo's stunning build quality and repairability at half the price, and the M5 MacBook Pro's vastly superior display, speakers, battery, and active cooling for just $300 more, the M5 MacBook Air's $1,099 starting price is increasingly hard to justify. The 12-inch MacBook proved over a decade ago that Apple could build a jaw-droppingly thin and light machine with a terraced battery, haptic trackpad, and wedge design that still feels impossible today — but Intel Core M silicon and a $1,200 price tag killed it. Apple now has all three ingredients — budget manufacturing mastery from the Neo, visionary thin-and-light design from the 12-inch MacBook, and the thermal efficiency of Apple Silicon — to finally make the MacBook Air something worth getting excited about again. #macbookneo #macbookair #12inchmacbook #LogitechMXSetup #LogitechPartner
