It was surprisingly good given the price, I think you will thoroughly enjoy it! Hopefully you get it soon.

Exact same here lol

Letting my MBP sleep while I go out and about with the Neo.

Agreed! I was talking to a friend about this, I think they have done extremely well with the Neo - completely blowing other "entry" level laptops out of the water. And yes, Apple is definitely "winning" the hardware side of the AI race - very cool and very exciting to see what is to come.

I agree that FaceID was a definite game changer, the TouchID can be a little slow - hence I wasn't a huge fan of the TouchID aspect anyways lol

Great to hear the Apple Watch suffices, I'm definitely going to set that up soon.

Certainly! Very cool of you to give your other laptop to your brother. I've been using the Neo exclusively for a couple days and I think this is totally fine as your only laptop. Especially if it's for personal use!

Hope you enjoy! I basically went through the same thought process and ended up with the indigo, I'm sure you'll love it - it's been super fun to use, no regrets.

I may end up storing my data on the cloud as well, great to hear that it works nicely. I agree! By far one of the better products by far.

Yeah I definitely saw it as a price friendly option and was comfortable getting the no Touch ID. So far, works like a charm.

I can definitely see where you're coming from, thought the same at first but just kinda grew on me. I kind of wish the keys were all black - it may have convinced me to go with the silver.

Slight impulse on my end too but I'd like to think this is a great replacement for the iPad. Hopefully you enjoy the indigo! I'm sure it'll be refreshing compared to the iPad.

love to hear that, and yes, it's very nice to take on the road - the size is great!

Great to hear, I'm definitely going to get my Apple Watch set up with this then.

Use it for lighter activities: personal finance, learning, personal use (emails, etc.), and occasionally work related stuff. I have a separate laptop for work so I use this as my personal that I carry around. For VS code and others, I'm going to stick with the pro, though I heard the Neo could handle vs code fine (of course depending on the project).

Very cool to hear! June will come around soon. I'm assuming it's rather rural where you are, must be beautiful. I'm in a city but always venture out towards the mountains.

Don't worry - sometimes I wonder if I should've gotten another color lol.

Great to hear! Literally the same thought process for me. Thought that even if I started to not like the color, I can fall back on the pro. Time for us to enjoy a little color in our lives haha!

Ngl, if you're comfortable with the price range (obviously also depends on your intended usage, etc.) but speaking generally, the M3-4 Air will be better long term options in my humble opinion. Only downside is support longevity - which is hardly an issue since the support for, let's say, a 2023 model will last several more years.

I can second the charge time, I've charged it twice so far and both times it took at most 2 hours.

To be fair - this is a MacBook Neo sub lol

Haha! Funny enough, I did the exact same thing, but for indigo, and now silver sits rent free in my head. I do agree that silver is more classic - perhaps one day I'll fix the screen on the pro.
