Why Every Reviewer is WRONG about the MacBook Neo

Every reviewer is calling the $500 MacBook Neo the "Ultimate Student Laptop." But most of them haven't stepped foot in a classroom in years. As a high school senior heading to UCLA for Computer Engineering, I spent 30 days using Apple’s cheapest Mac to see if it actually survives a real student's workload, or if it's just a well-designed trap.

In this video, I’m breaking down the "Honeymoon Phase" of the A18 Pro chip, the reality of 8GB of RAM in 2026, and why you might actually save more money by buying an older MacBook instead.
