You're preaching to the choir, brother. But reread the comment I replied to. "Use as-is until e-waste" the Neo is not.

That's a very low bar to clear

You are to be congratulated on the sheer looming height of your standards. The angels cry out to you from the heavens. Sheesh.

Edit: thanks for toning it down. I will as well.

From the comment up above:

> I would imagine the Mac Neo is a sealed unit that you use as-is until it's e-waste.

So the "bar" is irrelevant to this conversation.

Yes, which makes the comment claiming the neo doesn't clear it all the more egregious.

I have been rocking _smaller_ tablet PCs with better reparability score than the Neo in iFixit since practically the 2010s. My current one is a 10/10 from HP. This to say nothing about upgradability.

The Neo doesn't clear the bar. It just barely improves over recent macbooks, which is next to nothing. Specially to someone comparing to the Framework!
