The screen is too small, not usable for work, you can buy a 15-inch Linux laptop for the same price. And it might even have replaceable RAM and SSD. Also, 8 Gb is too little, it will become a useless toy several years later. Also, there are just 2 USB ports and no USB-A.

Also I wonder how long the keyboard lasts and how does one replace it.

What do you use the USB-A for? I mean, I get it, I still have flash drives with the A-style connector. Is there some other critical item that you use on the regular (and is awkward with the little adapters)?

Can't say how long the keyboard will last since it's only been out for a few months, but I expect a long time as these are their new (now old) magic keyboards.

As for replacement, the keyboard is comes out as a module, so it just takes about 10-15 minutes of disassembling and putting a new keyboard in. Macbook Neo is one of Apple's best repairable laptops.

Or you could just google it to see how extrapolating here was not a good move.

Personally I prefer having a smaller screen on my laptop, because I can plug it into a monitor when I need a large screen but it makes it more portable.

Still miss the 11" MacBook Air, what a great form factor.

Also no RS-232 and Parallel. How do people expect to do real work if they can't connect their dot matrix printers directly?

Wait, it doesn't even have a faxmodem either! What if I need to do real work like sending and receiving faxes?

If its not happening on 3-part carbonless continuous paper its not work. This laptop is definitely not usable for real work.

I guess all these buyers must be idiots.
