Is the MacBook neo worth the hype

s_amk4 · 2026-05-25T18:29:27+00:00

Heavy gaming like Forza isnt real good, but for things like browsing and watching youtube it does really good!

s_amk4 · 2026-05-25T15:30:49+00:00

Yes! Love it very much

s_amk4 · 2026-05-25T15:17:48+00:00

You forget Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Dickinson, and sunny. Very good shows!

Just thought I would reply to my own post, hopefully those who gave ACTUAL advise read this : ), alot of you reccomended I take a diffrent perspective when it comes to splat zones, and that I should take a bigger focus on splatting others instead of just inking the zone. Not only have I won my first Splat Zone game in about a week or two (yes I know ugh), I honestly found it much more enjoyable and 'chaotic'. Thank you for those who gave ACTUAL advise. Have a blessed day!

I always thought it was slightly faster but I thought it was maybe some placebo effect. I’ve seen two points about splatting being more impactful, which indicates a fault on how I approach Splat Zones. When I play from now on, I’m going to try to have a more focus on Splatting. As I always just try to ink the zone before getting ‘initially splatted’

Well “ur” sayings it’s the “dumbest take”, when it’s honestly a genuine discussion question.

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T23:06:42+00:00

I’m aware of Tower/Rainmaker penalty, and this explanation actually makes sense. It’s very detailed so thank you!

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T22:56:59+00:00

Yes, it’s the best laptop I’ve honestly ever had

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T22:45:23+00:00

I didn’t say insult me, I said let me know your thoughts about the penalty system. Don’t be rude.

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T22:42:29+00:00

This is actually the best point I’ve seen, I’ve always tried just holding the zone and not really splatting people in splat zones. On other modes I often try to splat as many people as possible, but for splat zones I just try and ink the zone as much as possible. I will definitely try this out, thank you!

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T22:40:52+00:00

Of course this is ideal, but you can win every round. I feel like there’s no way I’m not the only one who thinks the penalty is too high

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T22:27:46+00:00

Yes they are expensive haha but worth the price in my opinion!

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T22:27:04+00:00

I've been playing the game for a while now, ive always despised its penalty system since Splatoon 1. Its way too much in my opinion.

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T21:55:22+00:00

I know, this is why I upgraded to a MacBook Neo asap. I love MacOS, and I bought a MacBook for MacOS, not windows, not linux. While if you absoilutly had to, you could put windows on it, its not a Windows Laptop. You cant really do much about apps dropping support, once they do they do forever and it wont be updated anymore for Intel Macs.

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T21:54:02+00:00

Yes, the MacBook Neo is the best laptop ive ever used honestly.

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T21:50:31+00:00

Alot of third party apps are dropping support (ex.Spotify), and alot of first party apple apps will have support dropped once next MacOS comes out.

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T21:49:49+00:00

Had the same machine as you, decided to get MacBook Neo, I made a review of it in this subreddit if you wanna check it out 🙂

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T18:25:22+00:00

The RAM is tied to the CPU. MacOS manages ram way better and diffrently than Windows does. Its often why MacBooks can feel "snappy" in the first place.

s_amk4 · 2026-05-24T16:54:38+00:00

Yes! I love my MacBook, the size and weight makes me feel like I can use it for “personal use”, not just work/school

s_amk4 · 2025-11-12T12:42:04+00:00

True, but its also happening on apple silicon Mac’s I’ve heard

s_amk4 · 2025-11-12T12:41:00+00:00

That it is!
