256gb and 8gb of ram, here we go again. Old gen macbook air seems a better deal, isn't it?

Cool hardware but wake me up when I can install Linux on it.

How come my iPhone can't just run MacOS at this point?

Every time apple shits out some new crap there is a rapturous response here. Pathetic.

Why don’t they just allow MacOS on iPad Pro. It’s what people want.

This thing is going to sell a lot.

8GB memory is pathetic. But that doesn't matter for most users yet.

In fact, it may not matter at all. If the hardware limitations push us to have several machines, a well-built entry laptop becomes a terminal (you won't run things in it, you'll connect to things). For that, 8GB might be enough.

now the next macOS update being performance/bug fixed focused makes sense to me

1. Gawd damn, scrolling through that page full of all those bright colors with their saturation cranked up to 11, feels like I'm being flash-banged by a Cocomelon episode. No other page from Apple is like that. wtf

2. Would a used older hand-me-down Macbook Air/Pro not be better performance/value than this iPhone board in a cheap laptop shell? There was a guy here saying he bought a used Macbook Air M1 16GB for 250 Euros.

256gb on a macbook should be illegal in 2026

Yeah, I see your $599 price tag, Apple. I also remember the hype behind your Mac Mini that was a sub $500 computer. And, how long did that last? The answer is: not long.

This laptop competes against M2/M3 MacBook Airs. Going to be hard to justify a Neo when the others are so much more powerful.

Reality distortion field at its fullest. I want one!

I swear to god they can transmit virtual ecstasy through their website, it's so incredibly impressive you want to buy one even if you don't need it. Everything is so perfectly presented, it has speakers! it has USB-C! WOW! No I am not being sarcastic, I am just expressing how joyful it feels watching marketing to its fullest. Just watch the videos.

Apple should be studied for centuries to come not for what they sold but for how they sold it. Pure genius. Beautiful up to every detail.
