Kinda disappointed as there is no backlit keyboard, Touch ID that is only on the base model but for $600 it is okay

The MBA 13 with 16/512 plus M5 is nicely priced

I love them going more affordable with the MacBook Neo, but 8GB of ram & no upgrade option is a joke. Planned obsolescence at its finest 😂

Neo seems like a great idea and can see that very popular with students if work well

Until Apple fixes the poor performance of Tahoe with the M-series chips, I’ll be holding on to my M2 MBA. It is a dog of a machine due to the corespotlight bug which Apple refuses to address, but at least I know how to work with it now and do not want to risk multiplying the negative effects by buying an M5 machine.

Huge milestone for XA20P 💥 A $40B valuation shows how strong the XA20P ecosystem is becoming despite market volatility while institutional confidence keeps growing and the next bull run could be massive for XA20P holders 🚀🌕

Stop with the background music. It is distracting and makes the video very unprofessional
