It would be great if PC hardware was actually as good as those enthusiasts think, but in efficiency, memory bandwidth, and many real and benchmark values, PC has been in the dust for a long time. I'm not saying this as an Apple consumer, I'm saying this as a PC (Linux) consumer who wants better options.

what blatantly false utter bullshit. left in the dust for years? lmao on what one measly single core benchmark? meanwhile Windows laptops for the same money or less beat the neo out on CPU multi core scores, PCMark performance, battery life, RAM size and speed, storage size and speed, build quality, speaker quality, webcam quality, microphone quality, display size, technology, refresh rate, and quality, keyboard quality, GPU performance, software compatibility and options, long-term Linux support, port selection, repairability, upgradeability, etc. but oh yeah that ONE single core benchmark is definitely the only thing that matters instead of the dozen or so other metrics it loses out on. I swear apple fanboys are astroturfing all this fabricated media hype and propaganda around the clock the bots and brainless sheep every time apple releases another mid slop product to overstate how many people want or use macs. y'all are truly in a cult.

I mean..if someone is dead set on getting apple.. and they were thinking of getting an iPad. I think it would make sense spending a little more and getting this instead. At least you get a proper OS here and not ipadOS.

The people this is aimed at wouldn't run many tabs though and don't upgrade often. They also aren't the audience who are into installing Linux or upgrading ram/SSD. It's for grandma's and 7-10 year olds.

I don't get why people are getting mad over more choices? It is available in any apple retail store for someone to checkout for themselves if they like or not vs the rest of the windows budget competition.

You might not consider this a real choice but when the head of another OEM is stating how many others are watching this closely and internally discussing how to respond to it, obviously others don't feel the same or share the same sentiment.

Quote from: GlazeMacbookCheck on Today at 03:58:22TrashBook - Super optimized... for running benchmarks *yawn* those iFans really need to up their glazing game since no one would fall for this bullcrap anymore but themselves. Those benchmarks are useless for cross-platform comparison - even its creators said so, so keep coping with those high score while running like sh*t in any program that Apple hasn't paid billions to make the Windows version worse.

And once again the TrashBook gets a free pass for all the fouls that x86 laptops would be ripped apart if they dare to make: absolutely unrepairable soldered RAM and *SSD* (the worst of Windows laptops nowadays still has repairable M.2 storage), miserable port selection, no keyboard backlight (in the big '26), garbage prehistoric quality webcam, etcetera and etcetera. This is the reason why the laptop industry has zero innovation for the last 5 years. Thank you GlazeMacbookCheck for making the tech industry miserable and all of us consumer to suffer.

Yeah man totally I can't wait to pick up my plastic crapware $400 PC that will stutter and poop itself if I breathe on it wrong.

For the target audience - students; old people; casual users - this is a great little laptop.

"It is limited to 8gb." Yes, yes it is. Oh noes the mobile-chip-powered laptop can't edit 4k video AND import raw photos simultaneously as fast as the $2000 laptop?

Lmao.

Yeah cant wait to throw away my $600 TrashBook away in half a year when my tiny storage runs out and my RAM can barely run Chrome tabs, that is if it can survive that long without sh*tting itself and go straight into the trash bin where it belongs. Meanwhile the plastic crapware gonna live for 5 years minimum with another 5 years on Linux and upgraded RAM and SSD because it can.

The target audiance of this TrashBook are iFans too poor to buy more expensive TrashBook but still want something to flex in Starbucks.

Also $400 already get you a full metal laptop with midrange spec, that is if you buy new, refurbished ThinkPads are even better deal. More laptops for like half the price of this disposable e-waste.

Even if the Apple Neo has blazingly fast processing performance, it is Limited to 8GB RAM. Talk about building a Lamborghini with bicycle tyres.

How about in Cinebench 2026?
