> 8 gigs was too much of a compromise

i come from a ultrabook with 2 gigs of ram and the neo takes 2 vscode instances, one antigravity and firefox while keeping telegram and whatsapp on the background. that device can be used as a workhorse, pagination is very good.

can even run ios/android emulators but then you have to only have that project open, which is a non-issue for me. and the battery literally keeps working all day. good screen, good keyboard, good touchpad, operative system is close to linux. if youre thinking about getting one for programming and you're scared about the 8 gigs, hope i gave someone some light about it.

If the latest apple hardware could run Linux I would be buying a good amount. But I just hate the idea of being at the whims of macOS timelines. But I guess when you’re selling more than you can produce it doesn’t really matter.
