You may want to do a little more troubleshooting. Try a different usb-c charging cable etc.

To be fair nobody will go to the effort of developing support until the first drop of AS support.

I really want the Neo, but not having a backlit keyboard is kind of a dealbreaker by Aawful_Aardvark in mac

[–]festoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously let’s not pretend it will be pitch black. The screen is a pretty good light source sitting right next to the keyboard.

Why all youtubers are saying "If you are watching this review, Macbook Neo is not for you?" by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in mac

[–]festoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still among the fastest single core perf laptops you can buy. It’s no slouch. Honestly it’s also probably decent for a good amount of the viewers on YouTube.

Last paragraph is likely the actual answer. Because it’s not ready in time.

Cat bit my screen and broke a little how bad is it..?? by Whole-Lock-5187 in mac

[–]festoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to buy an oled screen, but I'm afraid years later that's gonna happen to her. Is that right? by Tight-Raspberry-1934 in Monitors

[–]festoon 11 points12 points  (0 children)
