Summary
More than five years on, that remains true. It turns out that gigabit Wi-Fi, 10 Gb Ethernet, and high speed expansion is not such a problem anymore. And yet, that Macbook Neo has given the Windows world the fear, precisely because of the Apple Silicon walled garden strategy. Right now, with supply chains choking critical component costs everywhere except Cupertino, there is no Windows laptop that can duke it out with the Macbook Neo at the same price point on two vital points - the quality of the hardware, and what happens when you switch it on. However, where it absolutely shines is in comparison with Windows 11. You can even turn off all the AI, what there is of it, in Settings.
