Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday. A regulatory document for a “MacBook Neo” (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple’s website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet. While the PDF file does not contain the “MacBook Neo” name, it briefly appeared in a link on Apple’s regulatory website for EU compliance purposes.
A fancy processor is meaningless without RAM. It’s like a Lamborghini rolling on bicycle tires.
And RAM is meaningless without a processor to use it. So I’m saying this MacBook Neo is probably kinda shit for its price, but the Stream is for sure not any good.
For the price of the MacBook Neo, the best device to get would actually be a used laptop. Either an Apple Silicon Macbook Air if you can find one with 16 GB, or some kind of a Thinkpad if you want to have more freedom.
Cheap laptops tend to suck, but used laptops in the same price range can be very good.
