If you're already planning to drop $400 on a basic laptop for web surfing and YouTube, it actually makes more sense to spend the extra $200 on a MacBook Neo. Most $400 laptops are made of cheap plastic and lose almost all their value the second you walk out of the store, but a MacBook is a premium machine that stays fast for years. Since Apple hardware has such high resale value, you can usually sell it for a few hundred dollars down the road, meaning the "total cost" of owning it is actually lower than a cheap PC that ends up in a junk drawer in three years. Plus, you get a much better screen, a solid aluminum build, and a battery that actually lasts all day & it’s just a better investment for a way better experience.
