  • Nice troll m8

    Try programming on a tablet, or playing any graphics heavy games, or really anything more than simple text editing or media consumption. It’s a shit experience.

    Of course if your idea of PC ownership includes an anti-virus subscription, you should indeed limit yourself to devices that limit what you can do with them, as I have suspicions about your tech literacy.



  • So how fast do you type on your phone? Because I can barely get 50 words per minute and even then my accuracy suffers… So that’s a third of the speed of a proper keyboard and way more typos.

    Why would I pay for a tablet and a keyboard to get a second super limited device as opposed to having a proper computer that can do anything I want it to?













  • Not too sure on that. In single-thread cinebench it beats high-end desktop CPUs from AMD and Intel. Now the Ryzen 9950X3D will absolutely DEMOLISH it in anything that can use all of its threads, but it literally lost in single-thread to Apple’s phone SoC. And that CPU costs the same as the entire Macbook Neo.

    You can spend 3k on a gaming laptop with a Core Ultra 9 288V right now that is in every other way better performing than the Macbook Neo, but still loses heavily in single thread performance.

    Now I’m not saying this makes it the best deal ever, it’s literally just one metric I’m talking about, but for the average user, single thread performance means the computer is more responsive overall, and a lot of applications aren’t optimized to make proper use of 6 threads, let alone 16 or 32, so it might feel snappier than a significantly more expensive laptop from another manufacturer, especially if it’s running Windows.
