Plus remote work is getting easier and easier. There are so few instances when I'm not able to get online. If we lived in a world where hardware were getting cheaper, it might make sense to splurge. In this environment I think the Neo is perfect.

Build quality of the Neo is extremely good, I love the keyboard — it’s more tactile and reminds me of early 2010s MacBooks.

I’ll be selling my M4 MBA soon, I genuinely use the Neo more. Huge difference in typing experience.

Great repairability is a plus. It was super easy, and actually fun to open. Felt like unboxing an Apple product. Applied the thermal paste mod for $10 which works excellently; I’ve had it shortly after launch.

And I love the notchless display, even if I wished the color gamut was a bit better.

The Neo keyboard just feels nicer than even an M5 Air.
