This is interesting timing.
Macbook Neo announced. It has been known a low cost MacBook will come, but I dont think anyone realistically think it was really going to be $599. And even $499 for Education. Now that it is real, how many new macOS user will Apple gain? Cooperate, Education and Business Sector have longed wanted an "affordable" Mac. There are plenty of organisations that are currently paying $499 or $599 for PC and would happily paid $699 for an Apple solution. Unforuntaly that product just didn't exist. Now it is here it will hit the M$ user most.
Unless Apple did something really stupid I could see Neo easily attract an additional 100M PC user across to the Mac.
- greggsy 7mo agoTiming isn’t an accident. Within weeks of the M1 stealing headlines, the premature W11 released to great fanfare. This mea culpa is very refreshing though, along with the admission that they went overboard with CoPilot.
- zeroc8 7mo agoThat has been Microsoft's gameplan for years. While Apple delivers, Microsoft promises it will deliver soon. And then it never happens.
- pjmlp 7mo agoHow is Apple AI delivery going? Especially everything that was shown at WWDC 2024?
- steve1977 7mo agoLol yeah... unfortunately we're not living in the times anymore when Steve Jobs announced the Intel build of Mac OS X and then mentioned that he did the whole presentation on Intel. Now it's "coming with macOS 27". And then "27.1". Maybe.
