MacBook Neo

The MacBook Neo feels like the 11" Air.

Any iPad + a keyboard case makes zero sense compared to the Neo.

All the iPad's capabilities (M-series CPU, OLED screen, premium everything) are wasted on iPadOS. iPad is also needlessly stuck with a single USB-C port. Is the Neo's second port good? No! But in a pinch it's better than no port.

The A18 Pro is great, already compiled a few Xcode projects, listened to multiple sources of audio at once, and even managed my clipboard.

Oh, and the Neo actually goes to sleep, like real sleep. No dead battery issues like iPadOS.

It's the cheapest, most repairable, and smallest Mac. Win, win, win.
