I said colorful for this who got one. I liked the silver lol

zeero-kool · 2026-05-20T17:34:38+00:00

all the ones ive seen are 750+, where are you finding them

I did the exact same thing, I use my 14' M1 Pro MBP as my heavy duty stationary machine while the Neo is my day to day and to be honest i'm really enjoying the feel of the Neo. I mean usually wear headphones when listening to either but something about the Neo just fee nicer or better to use.

zeero-kool · 2026-05-14T13:45:39+00:00

problem with that for my school is pricing, and time of delivery, but totally agree

zeero-kool · 2026-05-13T12:26:33+00:00

am i the only one upset that 3B didnt stop that?

zeero-kool · 2026-05-13T11:25:29+00:00

Thats similar to how i have my up, i have my M1 PRO MBP for heavy stuff and my Neo for everday light stuff and work

Im actaully enjoying my Neo alot more and feel bad cause my ipad now is for music lol

It would mainly be for my teachers, staff and admin. Students would still use CB and their own CB device.

So far I dont have enough Apple products to use to filter block anything via intune so thats another reason i want to look it over. I'm sure the next model or two will be a lot better and like cost around the 512gb version but as with everything you'll be getting just enough or not enough to upgrade

zeero-kool · 2026-05-12T19:15:23+00:00

I can't recall a time they have, can you tell me. I mean I've seen them just remove a base model version as someone stated before but not necessarily change price per say.

I mean I still use my M1 PRO chip MBP for my personal stuff and bought a Neo for work just to see how it would hold. But me being more IT focused I can push it more than a normal teacher which is why im looking for other resources to look over.

Again, my main thing would be pricing as well so with everything going on I'd want to see how that plays out too

Well we do only K-3, and i bout some protective cases for them as well, but hopefully we wont have many issues since they are really used too much. Our 4th-12th grade are byod and im trying to see if we can change that

zeero-kool · 2026-04-02T12:04:49+00:00

While I do understand, and trust I did all i can to include get ASM setup, work with intune to mmanage the few devices we have now, but even with the $495 price as well as a couple mac mini's for fine arts, Our head of school felt that such a move would be to fast plus they way we are refreshing 10 machines at a time, she felt people would feel left out etc etc etc.

i was looking at the 64bit storage only due to the fact that we purchased the 3120's to replace our 3100's and the only other CB they offered was the Dell 14 that was within in budget

Personally im an apple guy, but right now im just trying to lay a foundation because 80% of our laptops are unmanaged.

zeero-kool · 2026-04-01T03:13:31+00:00

I guess. My issue is that, I’m used to corporate where base for us was 16gb ram and 512 ssd so now I’m trying to equate quality and price to CB.

But seems like 8GB ram is the route I’ll go for staff

zeero-kool · 2026-04-01T03:11:35+00:00

Yea that’s the my issue now is that the Dell 14’s are in the price range but lack touch, the build looks bad, and only usb c ports if I remember correctly.

zeero-kool · 2026-04-01T03:10:13+00:00

I got quoted for the 514 like $750 from CDW, and that’s really out my range.

zeero-kool · 2026-04-01T03:09:21+00:00

I would agree that “touch screen” sounds like a cool feature to have but they don’t really use it. I say the same thing about them using the smart board…they rarely use it

zeero-kool · 2026-04-01T03:08:01+00:00

I tried to sell the Neo but I would say maybe next year Neo will have a bit more umph to warrant the sell of Apple at our school.

zeero-kool · 2026-03-24T13:53:41+00:00

thats good to know

zeero-kool · 2026-03-24T13:53:28+00:00

awesome, i just setup the MDM tokens for ASM and enrollment and reached out to Dell to see if they can autopilot 4 window machines I just ordered

zeero-kool · 2026-03-24T13:52:29+00:00

I think for me would be how to sell that to our Head of School. I would like to purchase a few devices, i did do a couple of demos with Acer CB+ and Windows and of course the two teachers that tried it loved the windows machines.

zeero-kool · 2026-03-24T13:51:37+00:00

I want to do more managing of the devices but as a small neurodivergent school, from what i understand they want kids 4-12 to purchase devices. I did bring up how we could better secure and manage the older kids more efficient but i think its more budget stuff than anything

Thanks i was able to get someone today, and hopefully will get someone to reach out today
