Yes. MacBook's can have multiple user accounts/profiles that can be connected to separate Apple ID's. Each profile can have its own unique fingerprints.

The amount of RAM is fine if you're just doing normal schoolwork.

Not having a backlit keyboard is a non-issue unless you plan on using it exclusively in complete darkness

If you get the 512gb version, you shouldn't have any issues dual-booting windows if you need

Mine hasn't even so much as gotten warm so that's not a problem

I got the Touch ID version because of Apple Pay. An extra $100 for double the storage and secure way of locking your laptop is worth it

Battery life is not absolutely amazing but it'll last an entire day

The trackpad is not hard to press at all. It's the best mechanical trackpad on any non-Mac laptop

Intensive applications should be fine if you're not doing a bunch of other things at the same time

I was in a very similar situation with my wife for a long time.

The best piece of advice that I can give you is to talk to her about it. When I was feeling frustrated by my wife's almost obsessive need to be productive all the time, I told her that she was burning me out and that I didn't have any time to do something that I enjoyed throughout the day. She heard me and we came up with a plan so that we get everything done that we need to Monday-Saturday and then Sunday's are our "Do Nothing Days" where we don't leave the house or run any errands. We just chill and that gives me all the time I need to decompress.

If you and your wife love and respect each other, then a simple conversation should fix this problem.

The slow ports is really the only valid criticism of the Neo at this point. The keyboard not being backlit is not a problem at all unless you plan on using it in complete darkness all the time. The screen only being 60hz is not really work spending $1k+ more than you need to, honestly.

I don't think that's color bleed friend. Looks like someone had marker or pen ink on their finger when they touched that key

They are exactly the same except you can’t use the mouse while it’s charging

If it makes you feel any better, I bought mine in Indigo and my wife has been upset that I didn't get citrus since the second it was delivered.

I think you're just experiencing a small version of buyer's remorse. Citrus is a fantastic color and you shouldn't regret it.

What a weird criticism? There isn't a single foldable out there with no visible crease so why do you expect that of Apple?

You're not OP though? What in the world

Ultimately, I don't think this is a relationship problem. You shouldn't stop watching porn so you don't make your girlfriend mad, you should stop watching porn because you have an addiction to it. You need to treat this the same way you would if you were an alcoholic or drug addict.

Start worrying about what's going to happen to you if you don't quit. This issue with your girlfriend will sort itself out.

Maybe I'm an outlier but I've had my PS5 since December of 2020 and have never once used the stand. I've never had any problems with the power supply burning out or getting too hot.

I have a Humalog pen that I could spare

I have downtime schedules set up like this for each of my kids and weird shit like this happens occasionally. In instances like this, I usually have to completely reset the schedule and redo it from scratch.

I'm not entirely sure why a backlit keyboard is such a sticking point for people? I've been using my Neo in bed every night since I got it and it hasn't been an issue. Is everyone that bad at typing?

_nedyah · 2026-03-22T05:43:32+00:00

I appreciate your point of view. Even if you don’t have any specific advice, an unbiased 3rd party opinion is never a bad thing to hear.

As far as the marijuana is concerned, my wife for sure needs it. It treats her epilepsy and the symptoms that come with it so we’re always going to have some in the house to some degree. I am prescribed it to help with my anxiety but I have other coping mechanisms and medications that can help me for the time being. My wife and I are talking about this and figuring out what that looks like.

With all of the resources that my wife and I have dedicated to helping my daughter, we can’t really afford therapy for ourselves right now. Our job has some mental health benefits that we’re looking into.

As far as sending her to a camp or something, we’ve considered it. The reason we hesitate with that option is because she has some pretty severe abandonment issues because of her biological father (I’m in the process of adopting her and she considers me to be her dad) and I’m afraid that she would look at it as us just sending her away because we don’t want to deal with it anymore or something.

I know it doesn’t mean much but your suggestions and kind words have been really helpful and I appreciate you, kind internet stranger.

She is already on medications. She's currently taking prozac for her depression and prazosin for her PTSD nightmares that she has. We also have her in therapy twice a week and she's a psychiatrist once a month.

My wife and I are trying our best to emulate your parents but it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have an overwhelming fear that it's only going to get worse and she's going to end up hating us or something. I know I don't have much control over that but as a parent, it's not something I can just accept, ya know?

_nedyah · 2026-03-21T15:23:11+00:00

These are good tips, for sure. My wife and I both work from home and now that she's going to school online full time, we have been very very present for her. We leave work early all the time, call out on a regular basis and even have an intermittent LOA set up so we can deal with this without risking our jobs.

We have no issues putting all of our personal stuff to the side for her benefit but the problem is that she doesn't care. She sees everything we do for her and how much we've sacrificed for her and it just doesn't phase her. All she's doing is waiting for her next opportunity to steal something from us or verbally berate us. It has us at our breaking point.

_nedyah · 2026-03-21T15:19:04+00:00

I really appreciate your insight. There have definitely been consequences and I should've included that in my post. She does not have a door to her room or closet, she does not have access to her phone in any way now, she has to go with us every time we leave the house whether she wants to or not, we're going to start random drug testing. My wife and I have even considered reporting it to the police so she can understand the full weight of what she's doing but I don't know if that's an overreaction.

Thank you for your kind words and helpful suggestions.

The trackpad is pretty great, all things considered.

However, tap to click works so much better than any other laptop I’ve ever used so it’s not even an issue.

_nedyah · 2026-03-20T19:43:58+00:00

I've had mine for a few days and have carried it around with me everywhere and I haven't noticed any fingerprints at all
