I have one. Used the power button a handful of times. Not an issue. It’s on all the time.

Shareholder here. Good.

I read that at devisive. Time will tell. Tim was great at getting people to work together.

Translation, Everyone buying the base and doing their own drive upgrade. It’s very simple. I did it and a friend as well.

Are you thinking of google? You’re talking about them not Apple.

Al spell checkers are the bom. Thank you!

I was concerned until I played with it. It’s not a MBP but it’s remarkably fast for what it is. Playing with a 150MB photo didn’t cause it to break a sweat. Video editing HD footage is probably fine too.

And that’s plenty of CPU and memory for most tasks. I threw a 150GB image at one with Affinity to edit in the Apple Store. Didn’t even blink.

People forget how powerful phone CPUs are. If they let iPhones run full OSX natively with a display, keyboard and mouse docked they’d upend the entire computer market.

No surprise really. For the price it’s a pretty great little machine. People who complain about the specs are just not familiar with Macs and are basing their comments on windows assumptions or are not the target market for this device.

According to Apple, ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.4.1 addresses an issue that could cause the M5 [MacBook Air]and M5 Pro/Max [MacBook Pro] models to fail to join 802.1X Wi-Fi networks when using content filter extensions.

Played with a Neo at the Apple Store. It was far better than I was expecting. Loaded the 150mb sample image in affinity photo and it chewed through it no problem. Very snappy.

I was about to say it’s not powerful enough to be my daily laptop but it probably is. I like my MBP more but not sure if $2000 more.

I have a mini on my desk at work and it’s awesome. Driving 3 displays without missing a beat.

Not gonna happen with Apple’s SOC. But you can upgrade the SSD. I bumped mine to 2TB relatively painlessly with a aliexpress module.

Who cares? People like different things.

It’s far out of spec for OPs requirements however I purchased a Hisense PX3 Pro for home use and have never been happier with a projector even though it broke my budget.

It’s just amazing and has revolutionized “family movie night” (which has actually been Anpanman movies on Netflix for the last month or so).

This is the correct answer on both fronts.

It’s what I’d get my kids if they needed a laptop right now. Easy choice, blows Chromebook garbage away.

Apple’s security is pretty good and will work against you in this case. If you know the password you can unlock it but otherwise you’re probably kinda boned for the time being.

You could still hold onto it and hope someone comes out with an exploit down the road that bypasses the security but it’s a longshot.

If it has an eSIM I would power it down completely or store in a faraday pouch to block signals to it, as if they do a remote erase on it there’s no coming back from that.

What’s the difference between Stuffing Ads, and placing ads? Little bit dramatic trying to set the tone much?

Oh well.

They have taken away? Surely you mean government has taken away and given to themselves?
