Great product for a great price.

It takes some getting used to if you have worked with Windows for years.

Ideal for everyday use: fast and simple

Very solidly built, all aluminum, better than Windows laptops in this price range.
Perfect addition if you already use an iPhone and/or iPad.
Price: you really get a premium product for this money.
Why didn't Apple do this sooner?!?

After using Android and Linux for private use for years, I switched to an iPhone. Simply because it just works, without any hassle, and receives long-term updates (Samsung…?). Next, an iPad basically followed naturally.

A MacBook had always been on my wish list, but I simply didn't think it was worth €1,500+. As an IT professional, I use a laptop as little as possible for private use, so a traditional MacBook never really made sense to me. I'm already working with Windows all day, and at home I just want something that works: a bit of browsing, checking email, watching videos. Nothing more than that. And at a normal price, of course.

And that is exactly where this Neo excels.

Yes, it has an iPhone 16 Pro Max chip inside, but it is lightning fast!

Yes, it has “only” 8 GB of RAM, but if you know what you want to do with it, that is a fine choice. In fact, if you don't even know that 8 GB is considered a small amount these days, you probably belong to the target group that won't even notice it.

No backlit keyboard? Well, just turn on the light and you're all set. It's almost summertime, too! Moreover: it types surprisingly pleasantly.

Tip: don't hesitate between the 256GB and 512GB variants; the latter features TouchID, which makes your life much easier when unlocking, authorizing Apple Pay payments, and so much more.

Great laptop for most things

Nice design
Practical and does everything essential
Lightweight and super portable
Speaker audio is not great

Lovely laptop. My wife uses it for all her needs. It does pretty much everything a MacBook Pro does. It even handles demanding tasks like image editing and TikTok video rendering, although its speed for those tasks is impractical. I think it offers much better value than the 13-inch MacBook Air.
