Apple's new MacBook Neo is the first budget MacBook powered by the A18 Pro smartphone processor for $599. The result is a laptop that looks and feels like a MacBook, and is also surprisingly powerful for what it is. There is one big flaw though.

BIG RESPECT for checking temporal dithering existence. THANK YOU. And please check the same thing (every kind of flickering) with every screen.

Just a heads up, in the title it's stated that it has one big flaw, but reading the article I'm struggling to understand what it is, is it the battery runtime at high brightness settings, the temporal dithering or the limited connectivity? Not quite sure, great testing though.

It is the lack of backlit keyboard. That's a deal-breaker for me alone. P!ss poor usb options are also a deal breaker.
