Yes, I own one. I touch it every day :)
It has good build quality. It has been a great experience _for me_. Sorry, I don’t care if the logo is shiny or not.
I said I’d recommend a tablet for people that need a stylus, meaning to do art, I don’t think a Neo is good for that, but for other users, I stand on my opinion that the Neo can in many cases be a better deal than a tablet.
The only reasons people logically buy an apple are twofold: first, you know it’ll still work mostly fine in a decade. Second, it gets you further into the walled garden. That’s really only nice if you’ve got a computer that will last long enough that the garden isn’t painful. That’s the only reason they can command such a high price. This will be a piece of shit in 4 years TOPS, while commanding 80% of the price. And again, Apple has made them impossible to upgrade or repair, shortening the lifespan even further.
Bro stop with the copium
Neo definitely isn't competing in the professional art region. Absolutely nobody wants an underpowered laptop to make their art experience miserable. They'll either buy a purpose-built ipad or they'll get a wacom tablet. What a crazy strange opinion to have when you clearly do NOT do any art on computers!
