Yep, absolutely.

Continuing with the observations from the video, the bottom cover of the Neo is not CNC milled like it is in a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro, at least according to Nirav.

It is stamped instead with a little machining added afterwards, making it more flexible and less able to form an even seal with the rest of the case.

And then, uh, additionally the framework laptop 12 logic board is like four times the size of the one on the MacBook Neo because it's effectively a phone's logic board.

It's really astonishing to see.

All right, let's talk about the MacBook Neo versus Chromebooks.

This cracked me up, so let me read both of these bits of feedback back-to-back, if you'll permit me.

Henry writes, Hi, Marco.

In the high school I teach at, every student has a Chromebook over 1,901 building.

When one quits working or is forgotten at home, the student goes to the library and checks out another.

It takes maybe two minutes.

Students can't go one period without one because all curriculum is digital.

We have a couple of students who are trained to replace broken screens by salvaging parts.

The IT department is never involved at all with Chromebooks except for student password resets.

IT spends more time managing my graphic design classroom of 28 iMacs than they spend managing 1,900 Chromebooks.

There's no way the IT director would ever consider MacBooks, says Henry.

Ari writes, My wife is on the local school board and was on a budget call.

They happen to be approving this year's one-to-one student laptop purchases.

That is to say, you know, one laptop per kid.

The district uses iPads in kindergarten and first grade, Chromebooks in second through seventh grades, and MacBook Airs in high school.
