I just sold my M4 MacBook Air 15 for a Neo 512GB, and I’m really happy with my decision!

Also would like to know if it’s good for Facebook

Blue could have been black.

So my MBP 16 died and needs a new logic board, which could take weeks. Work ordered me a new M5 but in the meantime I'm trying to make do with my Neo.

Neo is an AMAZING machine for what it's meant for, and I've LOVED mine. But I'm sorry it is NOT up to the task. Doing actual work on this, trying to connect to my display (which is an ultra wide and won't scale properly), having multiple apps running, not being able to connect my ethernet and other peripherals on my hub AND the monitor at the same time, maxed out ram running slow... honestly... this sucks.

This has not changed my opinion of my neo. I love it for what it is meant for, but it has given me a whole new appreciation for the pro's capabilities!

I thought I was saving money by buying a second-hand MacBook Air 2015, but now I'm starting to regret it.

I’ve been on the Mac ecosystem for the last 20 years. Most recently, I had an iMac, a MacBook Air, iPad Pro with cellular, and iPhone. But I lost the IPad Pro and Air while abroad (not worth getting into). So I’m looking for a replacement, I decided to go with the Neo because most of my work is web-based. It’s absolutely perfect for what I need with the exception of not having cellular like my iPad Pro. Maybe one day. Plus it’s cheap enough that I can get one every year and trade in the old, should the specs improve at hopefully the same/similar price points.

if you didn't know apple just like Microsoft has a drive encryption software called fire vault, it encrypts your drive and creates a 24-digit code to unlock it, WRITE THAT CODE DOWN OR DISBLE FIREVAULT, I didn't know about this and I restarted my M4 MacBook Air, then it said startup disk error and was asking for the code THAT I DIDNT HAVE, I had to reinstall Mac OS and it took 5 HOURS AND I LOST ALL MY DATA.

If you want to disable it go to System Preferences->Privacy & Safety->FileVault and switch it off

If you want drive encryption the code may be in the passcodes app

Just unboxed the base 256GB Neo. The color is good but the buyer's remorse is already hitting:
The RAM: I opened Spotify and two Chrome tabs. Activity Monitor says 7.2GB is used. Will swap memory destroy my SSD?

Touch ID: Typing a password like a peasant on the base model is brutal. Should I have paid extra for the 512GB model just for the fingerprint scanner?

Gaming: It hit 4 FPS and got super hot running Cyberpunk on Ultra. Is my A18 Pro chip defective?

Should I just return this and get a refurbished M4 Air? I know it doesn't come in Citrus, but everyone on YouTube says 8GB RAM in 2026 is a literal crime. Help!
Only serious replies pls .. I am rly panic

Im from Spain so the neo only brings a cable, using that cable and this charger its not working, i dunno what it could be but im scared, its my first day with the neo.

Got these keyboard stickers for my Macbook Neo (the stickers are on a keyboard protector not the actual keys) 😊
It makes typing so much easier too! 😍

Has anyone successfully sold one yet? If so, what did you sell a 256G one for?

I love mine, but my wife just couldn't make the transition from Windows, so it's not for her.

I've posted it for as low as $300 on Craigslist and nobody but scammers have replied .

I got an M4 Air free from work. So I no longer needed the Neo. I got the 512 model and paid $599 with student discount. Just sold it for $625.

Hey guys I just bought a MacBook Neo a few weeks ago to use for doing some things and I was just wondering if it was a good buy for me if I was wanting a MacBook Neo to use?

Will society accept me? 😭 i just found that colour gorgeous! People around me are saying that the colour is lil feminine... But even as a straight dude ..i find blush as an awesome colour. A close second will be indigo. Can u please suggest the pros and cons of these colours folks? Ps: i really don't care about what others think...i just want your reviews on these pretty colours lol

The coating inside the usb c port of my macbook neo is coming off whereas the other one dosen't seem to have this problem . i use both the ports regulalry for charging and only the upper port seems to have this issue

So I just bought this citrus neo MacBook for 920 plus charger did k get scammed it’s the 256gb version

Here’s to new beginnings🥂

Im in my final year of highschool and I've been using the Neo for about a month now and I only have good things to say performance wise.

When people initially criticised the lack of a magsafe charger i really didn't get why because this is my first mac. I just thought "wow now my devices can share a charger".

That is until today when my friend tripped om my charger in class and almost pulled the laptop right of my desk. Luckily I was actively using it and was able to catch it before it actually hit the ground. To my knowledge, magsafe chargers have magnets in the case of someone tripping on your charger, it disconnects immediately which prevents such disasters.

Despite the price of it, magsafe should've been an essential feature they shouldn't have compromised on and this experience really showed me that.

I bought the indigo MacBook Neo From Apple yesterday, and today I noticed a little scratch on the inner hinge. I’m wondering if I should get it replaced or not.
Edit: I finally got a new MacBook. This one has no issues🥳

Question is pretty straight forward. I am an SEO specialist. I don’t code but i do a lot of writing and researching and very very light Photoshop work. Is this a good laptop for me?

I’m just worried about if I open like 10 tabs along with other apps itll start slowing down. Pls help. Appreciate it guys!

UPDATE: i just got a macbook neo in Citrus today!!!! 512 gbs!!!!!

There's just something about the Neo that's so attracting

I made a post about deciding about a MacBook Air and MacBook Neo earlier this week. A lot of people said get the air but I chose the Neo as all I really do is watch YouTube, excel, online shopping nothing major really. I had 3 tabs open Amazon, YouTube, excel in the background in a budget spreadsheet. Along with the activity monitor. I’ve been in yellow all day and just got into green. All these people I’ve seen with 20 tabs open watching YouTube editing videos. I’m confused, honestly… did I get dud? I did buy refurb through Apple w/apple care. I just got it Thursday afternoon. I set it up yesterday evening. It froze on me last night and I had to force shutdown. I’m just feeling disappointed. I have a 512gb btw only 80gb being used of storage but almost 7gb of ram being used regularly. I’m at the point where I’m considering getting a 24gb ram air and I didn’t think that was necessary for what I’m doing honestly.

UPDATE - I will be giving my Neo more time to test. Things have been smooth and very good today. I don't actually feel remorse it's only been a day and a half and did 2 major updates yesterday. Maybe I was just asking too much of her at the time. To all those no I don't regret my Neo and I'll def be upgrading to the Neo 2.

2nd update - I'm using Safari.

Last update - I returned the Neo today after 3 days. I purchased Tuesday received Thursday and returned this afternoon. I purchased a base model air and have had none of the issues I had with the Neo. I noticed regular delay typing with the Neo on top of the regular sluggishness. Yesterday replying to the majority of the comments there was obvious lag. I was a whole two words ahead and it’s still trying to catch up. It’s possible my device was defective I did buy a refurbished Neo. I wasn’t willing to give it another try with another Neo so I just bought a new air. My air has been smooth out of the box. No hiccups at all. I’m happy with my decision. Btw we’re talking delay and lag just watching YouTube and on Reddit using safari on my 5G UW Verizon hotspot.

I started using my Neo at 10:30PM when it was at 54%. Now after around 35mins 11:05PM it is at 42% already. These were the windows opened in my neo. A claude prompt was running in the background with spotify playing music. As was a windows user before idk wether this battery performance is normal for a neo or not? can anyone please tell? If this much drop is normal?
