00:00MacBook Neo is just an iPad with a keyboard.
00:02It's the most popular way to troll Apple's new $599 laptop.
00:06Are the naysayers right?
00:07Not really.
00:08First, the MacBook Neo runs macOS, which is more robust and still better for multitasking
00:14than the improved iPadOS 26.
00:16Second, people are ignoring the fact that the iPad plus keyboard combo is super expensive
00:21if you want the same size screen.
00:23The 13-inch iPad Air M4 starts at $799 without a keyboard, $200 more than the Neo.
00:29And that's with half the storage.
00:30If you jump up to 256GB and add the Magic Keyboard for the iPad, you're up over $1,200.
00:36For those scoring at home, that's two MacBook Neos.
00:39And while the 11-inch iPad can be had with a keyboard for $599, you're stuck with a smaller
00:43display, a weaker A16 chip, and again, half the storage.
00:47So stop saying the MacBook Neo is just an iPad with a keyboard.
00:52Or keep saying it.
00:53Just know that you're wrong.
