The Macbook Neo is a great product, except the amount of RAM. At 8 GB with MacOS, you are constantly, and I mean, constantly swapping. It' just not enough. It's enough for Linux (although it lately has become bloated too; Fedora/Ubuntu need 4 GB for an equivalent experience), but MacOS needs a lot of tightening to get such a product out of the door and call it a day with so little RAM.
RAM, RAM, RAM. Only thing that matters on a computer.
