MacBook Neo is heating up
The geek scene
You can feel why the MacBook Neo set people off: when Apple drops a machine that shifts the floorboards, the market doesn't crash in public; it rots underneath first. The sales charts look calm, the fanboys clap on cue, and meanwhile, every other laptop maker starts sweating through its shirt, trimming corners, renaming old parts, and praying nobody notices the panic in the wiring.
If you've watched why macOS keeps adapting, you've already seen the pattern: Apple changes the rules, the competition doesn't see it coming, and then some time later, the Windows counterparts will be rebuilding the car while it's still moving. So enjoy the geeks in the garage, bless them, bolting spoilers onto a Dacia and whispering "Ferrari."
