You know, it's tough.

Preferably with our code, right?

All right, moving along.

Is MacBook Neo a hit?

Tim Cook on the 20th of March tweeted, Mac just had its best launch week ever for the first time Mac customers.

We love seeing the enthusiasm.

Yeah, it sure does.

Yeah, it does look very good.

All right, let's talk about the MacBook Neo and kind of how it's a throwback, potentially.

Adrian Bingston writes, listening to you speak about the Neo, it reminded me of the iBook G3 Snow in 2001.

It was so good and for its price.

This was before the unibody, and it was mostly plastic, but it felt really good in your hand, exactly like John was describing the feel of the Neo.

It was nowhere near being, or excuse me, I, as in Adrian, was nowhere near being able to afford a PowerBook, so this was my first laptop, and it was good enough to do real work on.

I loved it.

It even made my girlfriend switch to the Mac.

She actually wanted a PC laptop, but there was no comparison.

Either PC laptops were big and freaking ugly, or they were nice and small, but completely unaffordable, like the Sony Vios.

So switching to the Mac was an economical decision, and that was unheard of.

I'd even go so far as to say that the white iBook, it was the most affordable Mac ever until the launch of the Neo.

There have been at least a couple of teardowns.
