Currently Playing: Why the MacBook Neo is the Ultimate Secondary Mac

The MacBook Neo might just be the most interesting laptop Apple has released in years. After two weeks of using it as my primary travel device alongside my Mac Studio, I have some thoughts. Is it a "budget" laptop, or is it the perfect secondary machine for developers and creatives on the go? In this video, I break down the performance of the A18 Pro chip, how it handles light video editing and gaming, and why the £600 price tag makes it a total bargain despite some obvious pain points. ❤️ Want to support the channel?
