A hands-on impressions piece about the MacBook Neo, covering its strengths (build quality, colors, A18 Pro chip, notch-free display), acceptable aspects (trackpad, 8 GB RAM, pricing in USD but less compelling in euros), and disappointments (256 GB base storage, no keyboard backlight, and macOS 26 Tahoe's 'Liquid Glass' UI). The author argues the Neo's hardware appeal is undermined by macOS 26's software quality regression, and criticizes reviewers for overlooking the OS issues due to excitement over the hardware.
