The MacBook Neo is an important, landmark device. You just don’t know it yet.
I say this as someone for whom the sheen of Apple has worn off, and I’ll look to move to different, open hardware in the coming years.
A good read from Sam.

@SecurityWriter What's open hardware?

@SecurityWriter What's open hardware?
@SecurityWriter if so, there is a commercially avaliable open hardware laptop that runs like Linux "Debian-Like" with like 8 or 16 gigs of ram?

"The kid who tries to run Blender on a Chromebook doesn’t learn that his machine can’t handle it. He learns that Google decided he’s not allowed to. Those are completely different lessons."
i like this take a lot insofar as the significance of hackability, but i wish i shared the authors faith in apples commitment to it. -

@SecurityWriter It seems true enough that this is what an iPad pointedly and cryptographically is not; but the comparison with chromebooks seems unfair. The ones orgs hand out are usually locked down(just as the Neos orgs hand out will be); just just Linuxing around in crostini is easy and readily supported unless an org admin is blocking you.

As an attempt to make an affordable entry point into the Apple ecosystem, it makes some sense. A shame that it's unexpandable though - if only there was a model with 16 GB RAM, I'd probably fetch one as soon as Linux managed to boot on it. And who knows, by the time it does, that specific SKU might be finally on the market -
