And it addresses a lot of the concerns that a lot of people have been saying about Macs, that the entry-level sort of price point is too high.

You can buy a Windows machine for, you know, around $800 in Canada, $500 in the U.S., but...

you certainly can't buy a Mac.

In Canada, it's $1,500 to get into the cheapest MacBook Air.

So this really, it's the first time in basically ever that Apple has really decided to sell a budget MacBook.

And to a certain extent, I mean, there are certainly lots of compromises in the engineering, but it's getting a lot of buzz.

Like for a lot of people who are looking for just a quick and cheap and dirty way to get into a Mac and don't want to build up an iPad,

buy a keyboard, buy a case, at which point you probably should have just bought a Mac anyway.

This is an alternative to them, and they will sell truckloads of these things in the months to come.

Yeah, and I mean, the worry is, and I used a netbook for a while because I was given one and it was a terrible experience.

Right price, wrong technology because they were just ridiculously underpowered, almost deliberately hobbled from the factory.

And that was the worry about the MacBook Neo is that it uses an iPhone chip, that it only has eight gigs of RAM, not the minimum 16 that you think most computers would use today.

It lacks a number of other features, right?

The

The webcam is only HD, is 1080p.

It doesn't have a backlit keyboard.

It doesn't have a Thunderbolt port.

It's just USB-C.

Like, there are just a lot of reasons, a lot of compromises to hit that price point.

But, you know, it's a different world.
