Do NOT Buy the MacBook Neo
One significant reason NOT to
It’s not RAM. It isn’t price. And it is NOT about the competition.
So what is it?
I’ve written about the MacBook Neo a few times now. Why many people are getting it wrong. Why the 8GB RAM debate misses the point. Why I can’t figure out who would buy a Windows laptop instead.
And now I’m telling you not to buy it.
Kind of.
The actual reason not to buy it
Some we talked about already:
Need a Gaming PC / machine? Valid reason to skip it. I said that.
Want a dedicated Linux machine? Also valid. Buy a Framework or a TUXEDO instead.
But there’s a third reason I didn’t mention. And it’s probably the most relevant one for a lot of people who are considering buying the Neo right now in 2026.
