MacBook Neo review: I think Apples going to sell millions of these

After Apple unveiled the MacBook Neo, two competing opinions started to spread in the tech world.

MacBook Neo review: Apple puts every $600 Windows PC to shame

Engadget : Style, Travel

I really don't know how Apple did it. The MacBook Neo is a $600 laptop that doesn't feel like an afterthought, which is a curse that has befallen so many cheap Windows notebooks. Sure, it has a slower A-series processor and it's limited to 8GB of RAM. But the MacBook Neo still feels as deeply considered as Apple's most premium hardware. Its screen, trackpad and overall usability is so far ahead of the competition, every Windows PC maker, including Microsoft, should be ashamed.
