Because people put their Mac Minis where they're not even visible.

Right, exactly.

I feel like the Neo in Apple stores, I feel like the impression that it's going to give is, first of all, I believe it will be perceived as the smallest laptop because people don't notice a thickness change of one and a half millimeters, but they do notice length and width-wise.

And I know we're like, oh, it's a smaller screen, 13-inch versus 13.6, but that makes the laptop physically smaller.

And if you're the type of person who's like, I don't want a laptop to take up a lot of space in my life, like you're in the market for something like the Neo anyway, because you're like, I'm not a computer person.

I want something small that fits in my backpack.

Oh, and they come in fun colors.

it'll it will so clearly be the most attractive to you product in the store because you're like why would anybody buy these other computers they're bigger they're uglier and god have you seen the prices doesn't make any sense why would anyone buy one it's like going into a car lot and seeing a cute pink convertible and that one costs less than all the other cars and all the other cars are giant silver four-door sedans you're like why would anyone buy one of those like it's a cute pink convertible and like well you don't understand the cute pink convertible

has a crappy engine and like it doesn't have a lot of space in the trunk it's like what are you talking about i don't know what any of that stuff means it's just me and like my backpack and i want to go off to school and this is half the price of i guess it should be a giant silver suv or something or whatever like

For the people who are in the market for this, it's not like they're like, oh, I guess I have to guess this one because it's cheap.

It's going to be the one they want the most anyway because it fits their desires the most.

Like that's the thing that, you know, computer nerds don't understand is like, can you imagine someone not only not caring about computer specs,

but finding them a detriment and not understanding what anyone would ever pay for that.

Like it's, I just want it to be small and cute and do the stuff that I needed to do.

And if you sit there and explain to them, like the differences that we just went through, like here, here are the, the things that are different between the Neo and the M4 MacBook Air.

And you went through all those things that their eyes would just glaze over.

Like, especially if, as you said, Marco, if they're coming from the PC, it's like, they don't,

Like even though there is a difference with the haptic trackpad and like the ambient light sensor, if they're not used to having a haptic trackpad and an Apple quality haptic trackpad and ambient light sensor on their PC laptops, they don't know what they're missing.

And so you explaining it to them is not going to be convincing.

Now, I do feel like if they eventually, you know, this is the great thing about the Neo and the great thing about Chromebooks for Google.
