A high school student that follows MKBHD and other tech YouTubers and can’t afford expensive laptops, and has an iPhone 15 that was given by the parents. This *is* probably the computer for that student.

Current college student that doesn’t do anything outside of a web browser on my current school laptop. I am so fed up with the shitty dell I have and windows in general that I bought the Neo without a second thought. It’s literally perfect for nearly every college student outside of engineers and other science majors. I’m very excited to get my hands on it next week!

Just got mine today and I love it! I can already feel a world of difference compared to my old 2016 macbook pro that cost me over $1400 brand new! I feel ripped off because it was nowhere near PRO level performance. That thing would throttle just browsing the web or trying to edit a 1080P video on imovie. The neo is more than powerful enough for what the average consumer like me will do on it. A person spending around $600 on a laptop shouldn't be expecting to run professional creative apps at peak performance levels. Thats what the pro models are for.
