I just tried a MacBook Neo for about half an hour. Surprisingly, it’s one of the most repairable laptops in Apple’s recent history.
Frankly, I liked it. In the end, it performed like any other Apple device with my normal usage.
Of course, it has all the limitations and lock-ins of Apple devices. But it’s much better than many plasticky laptops with exotic hardware (and therefore still poorly compatible with open-source OSes) that run Windows.
