    Apple intros MacBook Neo: $599 with an iPhone chip

    I’ve been flamed outside this site because of my rudely saying that the 8GB model isn’t good enough. I coulda sworn MBA was available for $649 when on sale. If the M2/3 16GB model then that’s a much better buy than this at up to maybe $100 more, as long as it comes w warranty or Applecare...

    I got nothing, what about you?

    Every customer who fails to buy from newegg should be telling AMD - hey, we want to give you out money, but we can’t.
