They have clips on the left and right side, in the middle of the left and right side.
I don't know why they just didn't put other screws there, but...
Like I said, the the regardless of what they did to save money, the construction of it, when you pick it up in the hand, it still feels very solid, which which he acknowledged.
So I think that's the main takeaway there.
But they found a way to get money out of it without seemingly sacrificing much, except for maybe like fractions of a millimeter in the shut line between the bottom and the top of the case.
Like how you look at that as like, how could they both fit a laptop in the same case, given the massive difference in the size of logic board.
It's really interesting.
Obviously, Framework's whole deal is their stuff is very serviceable and has lots of swappable parts, and you can upgrade the memory and change these little modules that you plug into it.
It's totally going in different design directions.
It's also more expensive than the Neo, by the way.
But check out this teardown if you want to see.
Obviously, it's done by the founder of Framework, so they're a little bit biased towards Framework, but it is really interesting to see a different way to do a similarly sized and similarly priced laptop.
I don't think they're in conflict because one is in a school where they already have MacBooks for everybody.
And I think Henry's point stands, which is like, I'm not sure how well the Neo would do given the criteria that he is touting for the Chromebook.
So the first example is, say you forgot your laptop or something or you need another one.
You just go to the library and pick one up.
Chromebook that's more of like an OS platform thing because you just sign into the Chromebook with your Google ID and all your stuff is there because all your stuff is never there it's in the cloud that pulling that off like I don't think if you forgot your your MacBook Neo went to library even if they handed you a new one
