MacBook Neo? For whom?

Apparently so many people decided that the Neo is for them that Apple is running out of (binned) CPUs for the Neo…

I was walking past an Apple Store yesterday and slipped in to have a look at the MacBook Neo.

Wow, all I can say is that, given the reviews I’ve read and the fact that I have a Mac mini running as a server, if the MBN had been available 9 months ago, I would have seriously considered this versus the MBA I bought to replace my iPad. The only thing which would have probably swayed me towards the MBA is that the MBA can support 2 external screens and the Neo can only support one.

The hardware quality seems excellent. I like the keyboard and trackpad, and it can run any Mac App I’m ever likely to want to run (I’m not a heavy user on my laptop.)

Walking past the electronics display at Costco yesterday, the Neo was front and center on the Apple display beside the entrance. I wanted to pick it up to see how light it was, but it was strongly affixed to the tabletop, not tethered. Interesting, to me, was someone decided to put out the plan old silver model, not one of Neo’s colorful models.
