I Used the MacBook Neo as My Only Computer for a Week

I’ve been trying to find the perfect everyday carry laptop for years — something powerful enough to get real work done, but inexpensive enough that I can throw it in a bag and take it everywhere without worrying about it.

So when Apple released the MacBook Neo, I decided to try an experiment:
Could this be my main computer for an entire week?

In this video I walk through what actually happened when I tried to make the MacBook Neo fit my real workflow as a filmmaker. That meant dealing with heavy video files, external storage, and even editing footage in DaVinci Resolve — including RED footage and clips from my Nikon ZR.

So the real question becomes:
Can Apple’s cheapest laptop actually replace your main computer?
In this video I’ll show you exactly what worked, what didn’t, and what you need to change to make the MacBook Neo usable for real work.
